Dont ever add melted sugar to absinthe. That is a guaranteed way to ruin the subtle flavours and give your absinthe a burnt sugar taste.
That whole fire ritual wasnt started until the early 90's to help disguise the taste of the crap they were passing off as absinthe (which was basically a liquorice flavoured, high proof spirit). Awful stuff. Real absinthe should be prepared like this:

I spent 90$ a few times for the pernod version of absinthe
loved it
but can't keep up the luxury level of it.
this preparation looks lovely.

Has anyone made or drank Piołunówka before?
I was wondering if it is better than absinthe.
absinthe just got me really drunk and left a shitty taste in my mouth like I just ate vicks vapor rub and licorice.
What's it supposed to feel like?
if this is it then it was not worth the 60 bucks and gross taste.
maybe I got some poorly made shit?
Piolunowka is polish equivalent of absinthe, and as of what i see here it doesnt look like it's any better as its made by pouring alco over the wormwood... and its got bitter taste...

So my interest in distilling has peaked again. I recently moved across the country, so I had to leave everything behind, but I have procured a few goodies that will help this time around. I scored an electric pressure cooker with a perfect hole to fix some copper pipe to, plus it can boil water damn fast, and has a really responsive temperature control. Another bonus is that I can do all my distilling in the back yard 
I am going to start designing another condenser; perhaps something a little simpler than the last one. (maybe I will take another stab at the coil through water design)
I should add that I have a friend here who lives in the states (I live like 10 minutes from the border) and he let me order a bottle of Jade PF1901 to his house from LdF (See I live in canada, and LdF wont ship here for some stupid reason) so I finally got to try some damn good absinthe. It beat the hell out of mine  I think I would like to order some more soon as I only have one glass left in my bottle of Jade. I want to get a bottle of Jade Edouard to try another Jade flavour, but if anyone can recommend me some others that would be great (Wiccan_Seeker, what would you say are your top 3?)
Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know where I am at with my distilling project
