That's called an absinthe frappe and it's quite tasty. Try this recipe some time:

1 oz. absinthe
1 oz. Cointreau
3 oz. cold water

Shake with ice and strain into a tumbler filled with crushed or shaved ice. Serve with straw.

Great on a hot summer day.

The aforementioned book, A Taste of Absinthe, features a number of very good cocktail recipes containing absinthe. You also may want to check out the classic cocktail recipes with absinthe as an ingredient (over 100!) listed at the Wormwood Society:

In addition to the tiki drinks calling for absinthe, I'm partial to the Sazerac, the Cocktail a la Louisiane, the Corpse Reviver #2, the Fourth Degree, the Arsenic and Old Lace, the Monkey Gland, the Brunelle, the Chrysanthemum, and the Death in the Afternoon, among others.
