Now I feel like listening to Primordial.

Drinking absinthe with my homegirl.

There used to be a swing, but now it's just a rope.

And a lizard who didn't want to be friends.

Drinking absinthe with my homegirl.

How'd that turn out?

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Pleasantly. We didn't have a ton.

 

[Calamitas1786]

What'ss the buzz like? I haven't had a chance to get my hands on this stuff yet.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

It's pretty calming. This wasn't particularly strong absinthe though.

unless the photo was taken in Europe (I didn't read the whole thread) there isn't any narcotics in commercialized absinth, in North America at least. You won't get a buzz, but I heard the "drunk effect" is a bit weirder than being drunk on, say, beers. Like getting drunk on wine feels different than getting drunk on beers.

edit: And pretty much all absinth has a concentration of 70% of alcool... at least that's how it was when I was in Edmonton.......... you need to mix it with water and other juices if you want to drink it. Alone it tastes like crap.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Yeah, I've been informed the traditional way is to pour it over sugar cube, melting the cube into the drink.

i had glasses like that growing up, i think they eventually all broke.

Drinking straight absinthe makes my face puffy and sore. Must be allergic to some component.

[Kvlt Wench]

We did it the other way, where you put a flaming sugar cube in the glass.

 

[Lord Foul]

That's a modern gimmick, but I have tried it like that and it is interesting. For a proper louche you need a slow drip of ice water over sugar.

 

[Calamitas1786]

That's fuckin' interesting, man!

 

[neal]

definitely one of my regrets about my european visit was not trying Absinthe!


but i heard you can actually get REAL absinthe in amurica now without shaddy imports around the law?

 

[Chromatose]

That's what I've heard!

Although I checked wikipedia earlier and it still mentioned thujone restrictions, so I don't know. I'm not enough in the know to know how crucial that is to the end product.

I have a bottle of the real stuff I sneaked back in the US 3 years ago (before that dumb "no liquid" ban) from Europe... I have a 1/4 bottle left and I'm saving it like I'm saving diamonds... heh
It's great. The buzz is astonishing.
and you're right, you do need to mix it... I normally mix it with sugar and ice.
YUM YUM double YUM I say
