I’m pretty sure it’s not the shit that’ll have you tongue-kissing your sister a la Euro Trip, however. Plus, it was banned for over a century in the States. If I were to ever try that stuff i’d have to be that Eastern European shit. Fuck the watered-down American equvalent.
ummmm…you’d have to water down the absinthe anyways. thats what you do. you don’t drink it straight from the bottle. that shit can be up to 90% alcohol. you usually put like a couple drops in a glass, put some ice in, then fill it up with water.
Speed…damn homie..you know your shit when it comes to absinthe!!
cool video
Yeah, usually a jigger of it is good. I envy those that go for more. Also, the way they’re preparing it in the video is the “new” way. What you’re supposed to do is put a sugar cube on a spoon, and pour water over it. Sugar brings out the flavor of the Anise seed.
I’ve tried the “watered down” version and the shit had more tore the hell up. I wasn’t hallucinating or any shit like that, but it sure as hell got me off my axis.
“What The Fuck Is Goin On” Hilarity
LOL!!!!!
Man my boys got me toasted this past christmas party then gave me a shot of this stuff. All I remember is I ended up singing Earth Wind And Fire’s “Reasons” while playing rock band….LOL!
I’ll probably never do that again…of course unless they get me drunk and though that at again
“abstinence??? You mean I won’t be able to have kids?”
LOL!!!
I was in London for the summer. At this one club some random dude bought me a shot of Absinthe but told me it was something else. I was definitely puking in a trash can outside the club 10 minutes later. I was already hammered before that point, but that’s besides the point.
what’s the point in seeing him take the shot….i wanna see him off his shit 10 minutes later..lol.
yea. i had a few shots a month or so back. loopy as shit afterwards haha
About 4 years ago, my bro bought the real shit and had it shipped over here. Tore up! We took shots the day he got it, and I don’t remember a thing. The next day we drank it like Speed described, but added a sugar cube to each drink, and it was pretty good.
hahah! this shit is hilarious
i got to get the fuck out of this country and see whats up with this shit.
I tried that shit a few years back when i was in spain….had me feelin like tyrone biggums….
You pour some absinthe to your glass, take the spoon, shove some opium on it, place it over the glass and pour water trough it, so there you have the early french way to make absinthe drink.. absinthe, water, opium. Back in the days (way back) absinthe was considered as an medicine, so everybody went to get that when they got sick, and of course the most famous abusers of absinthe were Englishmen. I dont know, but sounds like little bit a past the syrup would have in the states..
Your not suppose to set it on fire….*SMH*
And American Absinthe is not watered down by any means, Just different also it was banned in the US for no good reason at all. Switzerland and France make the best though from my experience.
I think absinthe is little misunderstood booze. yes, it hurts, yes, you can get fukd up playin widdit, BUT you can really enjoy the drink.. i often drink absinthe with cranberry juice and soda water, if delicious, you just need to get the figures right so the absinthe wont poison the whole shit… youll def taste and FEEL it when you put too much absinthe.. i use the european absinthe, the cheapest but not the weakest

the fuuck? you don’t put opium in absinthe!!! the put a sugar cube over the slotted spoon, thats the traditional way! absinthe wasn’t considered medicine either, it was just one of those things people took when the were sick, like chicken soup these days.
“Your not suppose to set it on fire….*SMH*”
ya you do. thats the new way of doing it. SMH
“ya you do. thats the new way of doing it. SMH”
For an old drink such as Absinthe theres no old or new, Threres only the proper way and the wrong way. Setting it on fire burns the sugar and makes it taste awful, But if your being sarcastic hehehe
All of absinthe is actually watered down compared to it’s 1800s equivalent.
It used to be way worse, lol.

nothing is fuucking watered down. holy shit. it comes in different %’s, 90% being the highest. the 70%’s, 60%s, etc. are just processed differently. in a sense, ya it’s watered down. but you can get 90% these days. 90% now is the same as 90$ then. there is no difference.
