each recipe is different
also the amount to add to the recipe depends on the type and strength of alcohol used. some call for everclear, vodka or some other stuff..

you could extract the good stuff from the wormwood and then dump that into a bottle of absente.

absente is the legal version of absinthe in the u.s. and it pgcks quite a punch on its own.
i hate to tell you this, but any absinthe you find or make will have a high potential for making you gag.

Absinthe is a highly alcoholic liquor, which also contains other intoxicants - thujon , which is found in the herb wormwood. It was the artist van Gogh´s favourite tipple, and was banned in France and Switzerland in about 1900. BUT it has always been legal and made here in Spain - Marie mayans is a common brand - I occasionally buy a bottle, but Mrs Fly hates me drinking it, cos I get so brainless.
