Started by Captain Denvo Pryde. Last reply by Prof. Sebastian Fate Dec 21, 2012. 10 Replies 0 Likes

So how does everyone prepare their Absinthe. I typically use a 3.5:1 with a cane sugar cube, and I never flame it. So how does everyone else prepare theirs.Continue

Comment by Adrian Carr on June 6, 2012 at 12:37pm: I think enjoying Absinthe, like so many other things, is subjective. I must be one of those unrefined blockheads that Absinthe/wine connoisseurs roll their eyes and shake their heads about. I try to find something good about each and every louche set before me. At the end of the day it is the Absinthe experience that I enjoy. The lovely way it whips my thoughts into a delicate froth. Some of my best poetry was written with a louche or two on board. I don’t remember the brand of Absinthe I was drinking but I will always remember the verses.

Comment by Mr A. P. Wyrmwood esq. on May 14, 2012 at 11:21am: Very pleased to find this group. I am currently working my way down a bottle of Apsinthion De Luxe, originating in Poland, however I suspect it is not terribly good. anyone else tried this?

Comment by Gordon Harris on March 14, 2012 at 10:59pm: I live on Vancouver Island, and it seems that all the liquor stores sell Absinthe here. Maybe there are more Steampunkers than I thought??

Comment by Gordon Harris on March 14, 2012 at 10:57pm: I bought my first bottle of Absinthe today; I've had it before, but I prefer the kind I bought. It has quite an anise flavour to it, and when I added the water, it didn't turn cloudy as I thought it should have done. Anyway, it was made in the Czech Republic and is in a really skinny bottle!

Comment by Regina Terramour (Black Rose) on October 18, 2011 at 2:06am: I thought the french method brought out a salty taste I didn't care for.

Comment by Katerinka on October 17, 2011 at 6:31pm: From things said by others who have drunk it, I hear that caramelizing the sugar changes the taste..and not for the better?

Comment by Regina Terramour (Black Rose) on October 17, 2011 at 2:59pm: I think I rather just shoot it. Didn't like the french method, bohemian sounds dangerous for a klutz like me. Maybe not very lady like, but wtf.

Comment by Tess La Coil, Time Bandit on October 17, 2011 at 2:12pm: Bohemian method involves flame. You can soak your sugar cube in Absinthe or you can gently pour the Absinthe over the cube. Then you light the cube and allow the sugar to caramelize. Blow it out, and stir in water. Or alternately, us the water to put out the flame.
