Oscar Wilde described drinking absinthe as such: "After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world."
- Nice!
Gotta love oscar Wilde. I should read more of him...Hombre_Lobo

Find a time machine and transport yourself back to when they still made the damned stuff.
There's no legal definition of absinthe so everyone can brew pretty much anything and put "Absinthe" on the label.

- Many artisans are still crafting historically true absinthe; nearly impossible to find, but all the better for the discovery.floccinaucinihilipil

I had one the other day. In the end I filled my mouth with water and drank the rest of the sugar that was in the glass...AMAZiNG the way alcohol fills your mouth and touches you.

my favorite way is to just pour it over ice. it louches just fine with the melted ice and makes it a refreshing afternoon pick-me up. simple syrup and/or mint optional

Todays absinthe is just made to taste like diesel to give the impression you are getting smashed. Just drink something that tastes nice and you'll get the same effect.
