“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”

theres the traditional way, and the new way. for an old drink, ya, there would be a new way. you make no sense.

“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.

“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..”
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

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

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.
