Alcohol mavens, here's what you'll need for cocktail time, if you want to play along at home:
Here is your shopping list (check it twice):

Tequila – the blanco variety and preferably nothing too smooth

Noilly Prat rouge vermouth – or a similar spicy and quinine-forward red vermouth

Absinthe – we used Vieux Pontarlier

Grapefruit – one

Pineapple juice

Egg – one

Agave syrup

Angostura Bitters

Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Bitters

For us listening at home: If you don't have the ingredients for Ice Station Reindeer, the Brez recommends that you splash some vodka over ice in a chilled rocks glass and add some Kahlua -- very festive.

Here's the full recipe:
ICE STATION REINDEER

Ingredients:
2 oz tequila
1 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1/2 oz Noilly Prat rouge vermouth (or similar spicy, quinine-heavy, and not too sweet red vermouth)
Barspoon* absinthe
Barspoon agave syrup
1 egg white
A few drops of Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas Bitters
Tiny pinch of salt
Garnish:
1. a few drops of Angostura bitters, attractively atop the fluff
