Any Absinthe Drinkers?
Any Absinthe drinkers out there? I have a friend that is sure it's going to open up his mind to the Green Fairy however I'm skeptical. He wants to just take a shot of it however I've been reading that it should be mixed with water over a sugar cube or mixed with simple syrup. I got a bottle at the Gomers near me and it wasn't cheap.
Suggestions? |

Rinse your glass with it and fill with a Sazerac. Perfect usage of that stuff.

edit: If you want to save some absinthe I recommend getting a small 1-3oz glass spray bottle. You just mist the absinthe into the glass!

It doesn't have any special/unusual properties beyond normal alcohol, but if you're going to drink it, might as well read some Rimbaud.

No analysis has determined that absinthe has any hallucinogenic properties.

My friend gets sick just taking a small shot of a decent scotch. It sounds like it tastes like a really bitter black licorice mixed with tree bark. I will have a trash can handy. |

A fool and his money soon part ways...
I am calling it a late Christmas present for him, he heard about it and wants to experience the Green Fairy. Personally, I think it will be interesting to see what this louche affect is. I like black licorice so it's not going to bother me what it tastes like. Death in the Afternoon sounds like an interesting way to drink it and get rid of a cheap bottle of champagne. |
