Status: offline 		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!

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

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

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!

Status: offline 		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.
