MistressTexas -> Fair warning. (11/26/2006 4:04:32 AM)

Warning: My posts may make less sense than usual lately. My dearest devils advocate is taking me out for a night of absinth, concerts and debauchery. One last fling before the surgery. Please do not expect coherency (less than usual I mean) for at least a week. And on that note, if the ever helpful RazorJak and mnottertail have tips for me on how to do absinth shots (or anyone else for that matter) I'm willing to talk bribes.

I would advise you to take heed in please do some research on the subject before embaking on this journey as it is NOT to be taken lightly.

If you however decide to still partake in it I might suggest in doing a trial run in the comfort of your own home...enviroment before engaging the outside world.

Please do some research!

Respectfully

take care. honestly.



RazorJAK -> RE: Fair warning. (11/26/2006 5:51:05 AM)


Honestly it all depends on what is in the bottle which is being called absinthe.

In the states there is FAR TOO MUCH homemade shite that is being passed off as the green fairie.

If you actually are talking about the "real" stuff,  drinking it is fairly simple:

Get a perforated spoon,  fill it up with either sugar or two sugar cubes.  Place the spoon over your glass.

Decant a portion ( between half shot to two shots depending on whether you've had it before ) over the spoon into a glass.

Slowly fill the rest of the glass with water (pouring it over the sugar/spoon of course) and watch the liquid go from jewel green to a cloudy grey.

Place the spoon into your drink and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Imbibe.

... Unless you're used to drinking alcolines like bleach,  you're going to want to NOT skip the sugar for the first few times you've tried absinthe.

To me,  three quarters of the fun of absinthe is the ritual.

Enjoy

Hemingway enjoyed his absinthe with champagne.

I guess I'm not a know-it-all.  I've never heard of this...  [&:]



RubberWitch -> RE: Fair warning. (11/26/2006 10:03:44 AM)

I personally use an unslotter spoon to hold the sugar, allow a shot to fall over it and into the glass, then light the sugar. when the sugar is carmelised, I flick it off the spoon into the shot, and douse it with a measure of water. done right, a little fireball leaps out. very good for scaring the locals in remote bars

absinthe drunks are very much for the warmth and safety of your own home, turn off the lights the tv, unplug the phone, do not answer the door, have someone take all your guns and knives and such............and play very soothing music......softly..........or some may die........................

I believe you are a dominant personality, you take peoples lives in your hands if you  do the whole thing in public........believe me.

Ice cold Jameson straight is more the public thing to do

We use absinthe as a pre-scene tipple. if you're just drinking sociably, yes, take the knives away



MisPandora -> RE: Fair warning. (11/26/2006 10:11:42 AM)

You'd love a dungeon on the outskirts of Frankfurt, Germany.  He stocks 15+ different types of Absinthe, many of which are illegal to have, even in Germany.

But do be sure you see the place before you get your green fairy herbal haze on.  It's a stunning place to experience when you're completely sober!

Alas, no knives were involved.. I mean.. Good, no knives were involved. So... Absinthe is Icky. bluhhhhhh. 2 shots, never doing it again. Not only did i NOT have any funky visions, I have the hangover from hell to thank for it. Although that might be my own fault for doing several shots of tequila directly afterward to get the taste of absinthe out of my mouth.

By the by onlythewindknows, I appreciate your concern, but the surgery isnt for roughly 2 more weeks, so I wasn't being *that* stupid.

What did I say about doing it as shots?

Tequila was possibly the WORST thing you could have drank after absinthe.  If you wanted to get rid of the absinthe flavour in your mouth ... It should have been something either essentially flavour neutral ( vodka ) with a pepper flavouring.  Or something that would be more coating ( heavy schnapps or jaiger ).

I've worked in bars too long.
