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

(6,242 posts)Another good site is drinkupny.com
They have good shipping deals but I would always suggest checking the reviews on Wormwood Society before buying.

(6,242 posts)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!

(12,132 posts)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.

(6,242 posts)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

(12,008 posts)The sazerac is one of those drinks that 10 bartenders will make 10 different ways.

(20,453 posts)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!
