Rudderow 2 #1 January 25, 2008 I have a fountain set (with 2 glasses and 2 spoons) AND two unopened bottles of Absinthe (the real stuff). edited to add: does anybody have any Absinthe drink recipes? The stuff doesn't taste that great by itself. in fact, I dislike it enough that I may be willing to part with it. as a matter of fact, I think I will get rid of it. edited to remove ad PMS #165 Swooo #613 CSA #687 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudderow 2 #6 January 25, 2008 I always wanted to try the stuff. Went a little overboard and got the whole fountain set and since I was ordering it from the UK, I figured I'd get (3) bottles so I could try a couple different kinds. Well... turns out I'm not a big fan. PMS #165 Swooo #613 CSA #687 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conundrum 1 #11 January 25, 2008 I don't see what the hype is about Absinthe, it tastes like poo. Do people still actually think it's a hallucinogen and that's why they want it? There seems to be some stigma of being cool if you have a bottle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #12 January 25, 2008 It may not be a hallucinogen, but it feels reeeeeeal nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psipike02 0 #13 January 25, 2008 I personally do like it. I've tried it with friends and I didn't mind it. I agree that it doesn't make you hallucinate, but its definitely a different type of "drunk" almost euphoric in my opinion... At least I noticed a different b/w that and the feeling I get from other drinks. Mix it with some sugar and burn the sugar and its actually pretty good....STRONG but good...Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #14 January 25, 2008 Hmmm, I've never had it with sugar, I can see how that might be tasty! I have a couple of friends with bottles of Absinthe, maybe I'll try it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudderow 2 #15 January 25, 2008 That's how your "supposed" to drink it. Ice water in the fountain. It drips onto the sugar cube which is on the slated spoon over a glass of Absinthe. The ice water dissolves the sugar into the drink and the cold makes the absinthe turn cloudy. It looks cool when you prepare the drink. I just don't like the licorice flavor.

psipike02 0 #16 January 25, 2008 Yeah what you do is take a cube of sugar and put it on a spoon. Put a few drops of absinthe on the sugar and light it on fire. You'll need a slotted spoon also. As the sugar melts from the fire, it'll melt through the slots into the absinthe and stir it in. I might suggest 2 cubes or 3 as you know its strong...hah Or you can just take the sugar and pour cold water over it into the absinthe. It will turn a milky green color. That one works as well too... Read them fully here: Quote http://www.drinknation.com/bartending/absinthe-ritual.php Doing either of these, it'll still be pretty strong...but probably better than the poo taste you experienced Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just dont do what we did in a college dorm one summer and used the slotted spoon + lighted sugar cube on one of them plastic red cups... unless you also like your absinthe taste like burned plastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #24 January 25, 2008 QuoteI don't see what the hype is about Absinthe, it tastes like poo. Do people still actually think it's a hallucinogen and that's why they want it? There seems to be some stigma of being cool if you have a bottle. I think that the cool factor comes from the famous artists and writers who made it popular in the 1800's-1900's. And probably the legal status in the US has given it a more taboo feel than other types of alcohol. I don't know about it being a hallucinogen. I read a book of letters written by Arthur Rimbaud, and he describes being in a state of madness and hallucinating after drinking it, but I think that he had been drinking all day long for several days before he got into that state, so I got the impression it was the excessive alcohol causing him to hallucinate rather than the type of alcohol he was drinking. But who knows... I can't drink the stuff, no matter how it's prepared. It just turns my stomach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
