How to drink absinthe
It made me
 "Surprising taste, okay at first, later not so good. :p"
How I did it: Since absinth is not illegal in the Netherlands, it was fairly easy to get the stuff. I took it with me to Denmark (where it is not legal) to try it. We did the traditional method of dissolving a sugar cube on a spoon over a glass of absinthe. The smell coming from the bottle was pure alcohol. I was surprised by the taste, it was much more 'gentle' than I thought it would be. It reminded me slightly of gin & tonic only completely different. (Is that at all helpful?) The first glass was okay for me, the second I tried more sugar but that was so sweet it made me gag so I threw it out. The next glass I didn't finish. By then the taste had started to oppose me. :) Resources: www.groenefee.nl

How I did it: My ex (boyfriend at the time) visited me up at school and brought some. It tastes like Jager. It wasn't really all that and a bag of chips for me. No green fairies were seen. Read how I did it…
How I did it: As you know absinthe is illegal in most countries, so finding the"real" thing is quite a difficult task. But still, the absinthe sold in most shops is a great way to enjoy something very similar to it. We bought a bottle of french absinthe and we had a lot of fun drinking it, although we didn't see any green fairies. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Went to spain on holiday and purchased a couple of bottle much to my parents disgust, brought them back home with me to england and thought id crack it open to celebrate (or commiserate) my a-levels. :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: My friend showed me how to in a bar in France. We ordered an absinthe each, dipped a sugar cube into the absinthe then when it had soaked up some of the alcohol, we put it on a special spoon thing resting on the top of the glass. Used a lighter to set it alight n then ate the sugar cube. Fill the glass up with water and enjoy!! Read how I did it…
How I did it: After looking around in few places I discover that my local Liquor store has it and one of the best one. I ask the price and surprisingly it was cheaper than buy it online. So there I went I bought the bottle. Read how I did it…
I’ve never tried it and I heard all the old writers back in the 1700’s used to drink it. I heard it was legalized in my state and now I really wanna try it! but it’s pretty expensive and I want to wait till the time is right, maybe like new years eve.

I ordered a bottle today, I am going to drink it with my dad because my dad is cool like that ;)
He used to drink it when he was young.
They just made absinthe legal in Columbus, OH last couple years. I went out with a couple guys friends one night, and they decided to buy me one since I never had it before. They sold it with the traditional method of dissolving a sugar cube on a spoon over a glass of absinthe. The smell coming from the bottle was pure alcohol. The taste was like a medicine to me. If you like Jagermeister, you would be ok. I didn’t mind it that much, but I wouldn’t get it again. :) I had a buzz after one, so I stopped drinking after that.
I picked up a 750ml bottle of Lucid Absinthe in Delaware last week. Now I’m just waiting for the opportunity to drink it. We’ve got the house inspection on Saturday morning, so friday night is out.
Maybe next week, or maybe I’ll wait until Jess goes to visit her gramma. I don’t know. One thing is for sure, I definitely need sugar cubes.
Do you know that van Gogh cut his ear after drinking Absent? And some guy killed his whole family!

Since it’s illegal in most areas here in the States, I decided to look for it while I was in Cancun (since also illegal in the States Cuban cigars were plentiful there). I found it in bottles in a couple stores, and purchased it.
I didn’t have any sugar cubes to dissolve, so I didn’t get to do it the traditional way, but drank it straight. The kind I drank had a black licorice or anise taste to it, which is not a favorite flavor of mine. Still it was worth trying since it’s something I’ve wanted to sample for years.

“Anyone know if I can find any Absinth in China? I'm in Beijing right now and leave in 2 weeks. I've looked in a few places but don't seem to see any. Or is this strictly a European beverage?”
