Has anyone tried Absinthe?

Recommended Posts

I know we've got people from several nations here, and while I know it is illegal for resale in the U.S. I do think, the way the law is written, that it is perfectly legal for personal consumption in the U.S.

 

I've been looking at trying it next time i'm in Canada, or maybe just picking up a bottle.

 

Any experiences, any suggestions?

 

(If this topic is unacceptable because of the questionable legality in some places, I apologize.)

Absinthe Pipe

 

The bohemians started the trend of sipping Absinthe with a straw, and came up with the cool idea of this little pipe yes.gif

 

You get Quite the BUZZ drinking alcohol through a straw cool.gif

Yeah. Actually, You light the sugar cube until it is golden brown and then drop it in. I had it in Greece. I am not sure if I can get it here, but if I can I will send you some.

 

As for my night, I got upset and almost destroyed something very beautiful. I can't blame it all on the Absinthe, but it was mixed with copius amounts of whiskey.

 

At any rate, it is too "minty" for me. It is like drinking a mint flavored gasoline.

That would rock if u could send me a lil bottle!!

Thanx wub.gif

 

From what i read bout it, i thought it had a sambuca kinda taste to it,

like Licrice confused13.gif

and i also saw these special spoons used to hold the sugar cube in so

u could pour it over it.

 

Id still like to taste it & try for a trip laugh.gif

id rather it taste like Mint then Licorice yes.gif

Tequila is a narcotic.

 

Still haven't gone to the liquor store, Donna. I can probably look on Monday.

Canada rocks, we got the good stuff. When taking straight shots of it, DO NOT let it sit in your mouth. Smells bad, tastes even worse. And it really burns going down. I'm glad i tried it, but its nothing i would want to do anytime soon.
