Interesting reason to buy it. Are you in the United States? If so where did you order it from?

Okay, then I'll stay out of this as it's no longer my element. But I'm amused to no end by the kids here that order "Absinthe" online and get shit that's not even real.

A few of my friends and I bought some when we were in Greece, I didn't try any, but they thought it was slightly gross. Smells like liquorice a bit.

I think it tastes like crap.  You have to put a ton of sugar in it, it's really bitter.  Maybe I just didn't drink enough of it, but I wasn't impressed. 

And, I stopped liking Marilyn Manson when I was like 14.  :tongue:

Most things that people call licorice are flavored with anise (including black "licorice"). I can't really tell the difference between the two though.

Quote:

Traditionally, absinthe is poured into a glass over which a specially designed slotted spoon is placed. A sugar cube is then deposited in the bowl of the spoon. Ice-cold water is poured or dripped over the sugar until the drink is diluted 3:1 to 5:1. During this process, the components that are not soluble in water, mainly those from anise, fennel and star anise, come out of solution and cloud the drink; the resulting milky opalescence is called the louche (Fr. "opaque" or "shady", IPA [luʃ]). The addition of water is important, causing the herbs to "blossom" and bringing out many of the flavors originally overpowered by the anise. For most people, a good quality absinthe should not require sugar, but it is added according to taste and will also thicken the mouth-feel of the drink.

With increased popularity, the absinthe fountain, a large jar of ice water on a base with spigots, came into use. It allowed a number of drinks to be prepared at once, and with a hands-free drip patrons were able to socialize while louching a glass.

Although many bars served absinthe in standard glasses, a number of glasses were specifically made for absinthe, having a dose line, bulge or bubble in its lower portion to mark how much absinthe should be poured into it (often around 1 oz (30 ml)).





You have to make it right, or it tastes like ass juice.

I love absinthe, but you got to get the right shit, with the right thujone content. And you need a setup, well basically a perferated spoon. what you do is pour 1 1/2 ounces absinthe into a tumbler or whatever kinda glass, then add, I thnk its 5 ounces of ice cold water, poured over either ice, or sugar, or both I'd suspect, I usually just use sugar, cuz its nasty, but after 3 or 4 of these you can be just like Van Gogh heh. or that NIN song "you are the perfect drug"... and I just saw tha roostercagburn just wrote that baically... but im lazy.

hey, i usualy like things forever as long as i liked them at somepoint.

Such as i still like marilyn manson, eventhough his latest cd was shit on a stick.

On another note i watched a show on Absinthe on teh History channel 2 days ago, it was interesting.. And aaaa i wouldnt think it would just tastes (GREAT) anything with that much alcohol isnt gona exactly taste like soda. Fuck suck it up, and drink it. DOnt be a pussy. Have a chacer if u need it.

Or do the traditional method, like teh guy before stated.
