Guest Patrokles Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 There's a type that has flecks of something or other in it, and that's the stuff that caused people to wig out back in the day.

It sent me mental 172057[/snapback] It's the stuff that has the wormwood in it that sends you proper mental. You didn't cut your ear off, did you? I've had some, think the mentalness is more of a long-term effect. Anyone ever eaten the worm out of the Tequila bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) Being a regular snakbite drinker I would say it doesn't get me any more pissed than lager i.e Fosters, Carling, but if it's made with LCL it knocks ya fucking lights oot, as i've found out of late. The reason I've started drinking it with LCL is fosters cold etc makes it flat as fuck, it has to be made with normal lager to get the nice creamy head on it.

Rings some sort of bell, definitely bollocks in the case of the one I ate. On a different note, I couldn't believe that shit was over the counter in Amsterdam.

Radgina 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 What's the business with dipping a spoon full of sugar in it and lighting it, then mixing it in? Memories of my teens coming back, don't know what that was all about. 172069[/snapback] How to drink absinthe. For those of you who are new to absinthe, the traditional method for tasting absinthe is with water and sugar. The water is used to dilute the alcohol, and the sugar is used to mask the bitterness of the absinthium (wormwood) and other oils. The traditional ritual for serving absinthe is to pour ice-cold water over a cube of sugar that is resting on a slotted spoon. The slotted spoon is suspended over a glass with a portion of absinthe. The cold water dissolves the sugar, both entering the glass to mix with the absinthe. As the cold water mixes with the absinthe, it clouds, this effect is called the "louche". Most absinthes produced today are already sweet and adding sugar may obscure the wonderful flavors that the distiller intended for you to enjoy. Here are a few ways to enjoy absinthe: Traditional - This is when absinthe is served with water and sugar. Typically five portions of water to one portion of absinthe and a cube of sugar. This method of serving absinthe produces a thin-sweet mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
