[ohiosmith]

7. Plenty of great Absinthe available right here in the States!

Meadow of Love and Walton Waters sooo good

and don't believe the hype. Absinthe never made people hallucinate. That is just myth propagated by prohibition. No vampires either

[ohiosmith]

8. Cool! Thanks!

[RandiFan1290]

12. Anytime!

Another good site is drinkupny.com
They have good shipping deals but I would always suggest checking the reviews on Wormwood Society before buying.

9. Absinthe is the devil!

If I could believe even half of the stories from that weekend that I don't remember I had a great time.

10. I had a 5 glass night once

It wasn't pretty! But it did taste like I was drinking perfume on those last few glasses. I can't explain it but it was wonderful!

17. lol, I DO remember that much

the first one was rough but then we got to the point (and very quickly I might add) that all the ceremony of the spoon and the sugar cube was just getting in the way and we just did shots. I seem to be unable to recall much after we went to shots.

[RandiFan1290]

18. Yikes! That could get ya into trouble

I have a few that are 144 proof. Proper Absinthe should always be watered. Sugar optional
Although I said no vampires I can't deny the devil in there somewhere

5. Groan!

[In_The_Wind]

13. . . .

[ohiosmith]

19. Shoot me!

[In_The_Wind]

20. I would never do that.

***please note the following***

In your condition I suggest for your viewing pleasure you:

1) close your eyes for the 1st half

2) enjoy it to the very end.

[ohiosmith]

21. Thank you!

6. You're not nearly fucked up.

You spelled "sazerac" correctly. No way you're not fucked up.

[CJCRANE]

11. That sounds medicinal!

(BTW off-topic...the mods asked me to delete that post of mine you replied to the other day...just in case you were wondering).

[ohiosmith]

14. Remind me!

[CJCRANE]

15. It was just some information about...

a certain...um...person...who likes coming back to DU.

They told me not to mention this...um...person.

I hope that makes sense!

[ohiosmith]

16. Now I recall!

[LibertyLover]

23. And the problem would be?

Enjoy!!

24. Nice. How do you mix yours?

The sazerac is one of those drinks that 10 bartenders will make 10 different ways.

[MrMickeysMom]

25. The defining feature of the Sazerac...

The defining feature of the Sazerac is the preparation using Peychaud's Bitters and two chilled old-fashioned glasses, one swirled with a light wash of absinthe for the slight taste and strong scent. The second chilled glass is used to mix the other ingredients, then the contents of that are poured or strained into the first. Various anisettes such as Pastis, Pernod, Ricard and Herbsaint are common substitutes for absinthe when it is not available; in New Orleans Herbsaint is most commonly used.

Holy shit! No wonder this fucked you up!
