Got this as a gift but haven't opened it yet

Any tips?

I know you need sugar and cold water?

Always wanted to try the stuff...

We have a bottle...you want to use the sugar since it's potent.

Thanks for that

Interesting:

The original absinthe recipe: first you pour roughly three ounces of absinthe into a heavy parfait-style stemmed absinthe glass. A perforated absinthe spoon is set upon the rim of the glass and on the spoon is placed a cube of sugar. Ice-cold water is ever so slowly dripped from a glass carafe onto the cube. The sugar dissolves and you continue pouring until the ratio of absinthe to water is about two to five parts, depending upon your taste and fortitude. Give the absinthe drink a spin with the spoon and drink like you dripped - slowly.

Want to get the most out of your Absinthe? The active ingredient thujone has its best effects within a half hour of drinking. Afterward, the effect you feel will be purely alcohol based, so make sure to pace your drinking so you enjoy the wormwood and the alcohol over the length of your experience. As always, drink responsibly and in moderation.

champion5 · 27 March 2009, 10:10 PM

A local bar run by a couple of French men sells that stuff. When me & my mates are feeling dangerous we'll drink a couple of shots. It's like battery acid mixed with petrol but not as nice tasting or forgiving. Be warned.
