Believe me, I had a few drinks of my own last night
Went to my first bar since it was friday. Somehow the word that it was my birthday got out and shots started piling up in front of me. There were brown ones, clear ones, flaming ones, and even ones that tasted of chocolate cake (first legal shot ). Needless to say, I left the bar hammered. One thing I was a bit upset about is I wanted one of those Green Faery Martinis someone suggested but apparently absynth is illegal here in the states. 
Ugh, gotta stop thinkin bout it, its makin me sick again

absinthe is legal in Canada, you can buy it in Gov Liquor stores. Only rule is that you can only have one bottle of it in your posession. But at 80 bucks a bottle, that not really a problem anyway. I'm getting some for the next party I go to. gonna be a good time. It's made in the Czech Rebublic so it must be legal there to, and a lot of other eurpean counteries allow it, not just Holland. Sorry I forgot that absinthe was illegal in the states. I guess since its a Hallucinogen, it would be illegal in the states.
how about a Purple Pussy Pleaser:
1.5 oz Raspberry Sour Puss
1 oz Rasberry Vodka
1 oz Cranberry Juice
.5 oz Lime Juice
1/4 tsp Absinthe (optional, since it's not legal everywhere)
shake all ingreadents over ice, and pour into chilled martini glass. It will be purple because the red ingr. will mix with the red ingr. and make a cloudy purple colour. If using absinthe, let sit a moment. The sugars in the sour puss and cranberry jucies will react with the absinthe making the "clouds" swirl. Which in it's self is pretty trippy. But it's really good without the absinthe too.
I can post the two correct ways to prepare absinthe for drinking by it's self. If anyone wants to know. (It's NOT prepared prior to mixing for the 2 drinks I posted, in that last one it's prepared as the drink is mixed, and the first one, it's not prepared so it stays in a blob)

Actually, I was just doing some reading. You can only get absinthe in BC and even then, the only brand available has a low thujone content.
Shucks.

Ok Here's the prep.
Absinthe - The Traditional Way:
You'll Need:
- Chilled Tumbler Glass or better yet a funky chilled martini glass
- Drink Screen (I used the screen top off my martini shaker)
- 2 oz Absinthe (chilled)
- Ice water
- 1 large or 2 regular sugar cubes
- some lose sugar (for riming the glass)
Rim with glass sugar. Place screen over glass and put sugar cube(s) on top of screen. Slowly pour absinthe over sugar cube into the glass. Dissolve rest of sugar into glass by slowly pouring ice water over it. The Absinthe will turn from yellow-green to dark cloudy green and will swirl around in clouds. Watch and enjoy.
Absinthe - Flaming Sugar Way:
You'll Need:
- Chilled Tumbler Glass or better yet a funky chilled martini glass
- round spoon (a round soup spoon will work)
- 2 oz Absinthe (chilled)
- 1 oz Ice water
- 1 sugar cube
- some lose sugar (for riming the glass)
- Bic lighter
Rim with glass sugar. Then pour the absinthe into the glass. Now place the sugar cube on the spoon and dip into absinthe taking care not to drop sugar cube in water. Now quikly pour water into glass, stir. Then light the sugar cube and let it burn for a couple of seconds. Now pour burning sugar slowly into glass. It will change and swirl as above. It may also light on fire if alcohol content is still high enough. Put out, Enjoy.
ps I think the traditional way is better.

well, the link I gave was to the high proof (70%) low thujone there is another brand availible from Green Tree (Czech) in BC that is high proof (70%) high thujone. It just became availible, and it's always in stock because people mistake higher price for better. Green Tree's is the best according to those in the know.

And for my third post in a row.
I found you some absinthe in at the Ontario Liquor store web site.
https://www.lcbo.com/stores_products/product_search/index.html
product number 701045
this is from france, not sure about it, its made the french way, and there is I guess the french prep way. listed. There is a decription of it on the site listed. It's much cheaper then the Czech kind so I guess a try can't hurt. You have to go to a gov liquor store to get it as in BC. But your call, I might be able to arange to send you a bottle of Green Tree's Absinth from BC. Or you could make it (not sure on the law about that down there though. And I don't recomend that to anyone but Lightning since being a doctor he must know enough about organic chem to be able to safely make a tincture and distill it.
ps
sorry about all the hijacking.

Absenthe is overrated.
I think the hype is the only reason people drink it. The trick is to put so much sugar on the rim so you can't taste the absenthe... but it really tastes better if you just eat the sugar and forget about the absenthe altogether.
I've been on an "Only drink it if it actually tastes good" kick. I don't care if it's got an umbrella sticking out and it's blue and it bubbles and shoots sparks out of it. If it tastes like crap, I ain't drinking it.
I'm often surprised at how many people drink things that they don't enjoy drinking. My theory is that if beer was invented today, nobody would buy it. There are very few people that actually like the taste... I think most people drink beer to "drink beer" rather than for the horid bitter taste of beer. Yeah, I know that there are a few that like it but if that's true, why aren't beer flavored lollypops, ice cream, and even alcohol-free beers flying off the store shelves?

I hate beer. And I'm not a huge fan of liquor, altough there are certain cocktails that I do like, like a very well made martini or a vodka gimlet. In order for me to like a bourbon, it has to be a $150 bottle.
But I love the flavor of wine. I like mine especially oaky, so that the first sip sparkles on the tongue.
I don't drink to get drunk. In fact, if someone could come up with something that tasted exactly like wine without the alcohol, I'd be all over it. Of course, that will never actually happen. But I've found some delightful bottles at our local wine merchant for quite reasonable prices. I've been into Iberian wines a lot lately. I love a nice Rioja or a Tradicional.
Now, I'm no big drinker. I'll enjoy a bottle with a friend maybe once every two weeks, which works out to 2 generous glasses for each of us, or a glass or two each for three.
But I hate feeling drunk. Ick.

Absinthe is legal in england too, in the less alcoholic form, and if you drink it at a bar I know, you get stamped for having 4 shots. I thought it was aftershock, I spent about 3 minutes recovering from the minging taste. Then again, aftershock's minging too.

ya i'm only about drinking things that actually taste good. with the exception of a few (i can count em on one hand) instances, i've always been that way.
i have a friend who made his own absinthe. he ordered all the ingredients off of ebay or something equally ridiculous. smelling it was enough to turn me off of it.

lol did he distill it pounce? if he didn't it wasn't absinthe. Real absinthe actually smells good. But then I like Vermouth (which is another wormwood spirit), so I may be odd. I don't drink to get drunk either. And I'm not a big drinker. 1 or 2 drinks every couple weeks is the norm for me.
my personal favorite drink is a martini following this recipe:
(use only good spirits)
1.25 oz Vodka
.75 oz Vermouth
pour into steel shaker (not one of those pathetic plastic ones) with plenty of fresh ice. shake well. pour into a chilled martini glass.
The process I listed in a previous post for serving absinthe is actually the second distillation. It's a sugar distillation (a reaction actually occurs, and no body has ever been poisoned with this technique either) that lowers the PH making it far less bitter. But lets face it Absinthe and Vermouth belong to a group of spirits known as bitters, and are bitter. I don't like super sweet things though.
As for beer, the only real beer so far as I'm conserned is stout. It's thick, dark brown, slightly bitter, foamy, the head stays, and you can't see through it even when you hold it up to a light. And it tastes good. I like Guiness, but good stout is good stout.

As for beer, the only real beer so far as I'm conserned is stout. It's thick, dark brown, slightly bitter, foamy, the head stays, and you can't see through it even when you hold it up to a light. And it tastes good. I like Guiness, but good stout is good stout.
In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird, now the world is weird and they take prozac to make it normal again.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm telling you. I'm not a pharmacist!
I can distill, yes. But what's a "tincture"?

a ticture is like an infusion. Except its done with edible alcohol, and is normally left to steep for days at room temp or cold, instead of a few mintues at high temp.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
