KenJennings Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 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.)

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 From what i read bout it, i thought it had a sambuca kinda taste to it, like Licrice 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 id rather it taste like Mint then Licorice

Cygnalschick Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Never tried it Sounds dangerous After my bad experience (again) with tequila the other night, I'm hesitant to pick up hard alcohol.

Tequila is a narcotic. Still haven't gone to the liquor store, Donna. I can probably look on Monday.
Test4VitalSigns Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I just recently found out absinthe is legal here in Canada. Been curious about trying it for awhile now.... Pretty expensive shit though!
wingman Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 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.
Weakly Criminal Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Have I tried Absinthe? Of course! Because Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!
