Yes you are correct sir!

I drank absinthe in Spain. I think I'll just drink molten licorice.

But I'd like to try it again; good stuff this time. The Spanish stuff I bought at a grocery store. I'll look for some place in France or something, that has the "hallucinogen" ingredient. I don't expect to see things though.

@mosesbotbol
Could you explain the proper procedure? You drip water over a sugar cube? I thought there was more to it.

I never hallucinated off this stuff but it does effect your perception a little. I remeber drinking this with some friends while watching Richard Pryor stand up and we could see tracers from Pryor constanly moving back and forth, his face looked funny. I like to think this stuff makes you a philosopher and you do not get grougy and tired like you do after alcohol. Never tried it with a cigar but I bet its good.

1. Fill Absinthe spigot with Ice and wait 10 minutes
2. Put shot of Absinthe in glass
3. Put sugar cube in slotted absinthe spoon and put on top of glass
4. Center sugar cube on spoon under the spigot
5. Turn spigot on so one or so drops at time comes out
6. Wait until Absinthe glass is full

Important that the water comes out real slow

Enjoy.

Here is a useful website I use to use.

I used to buy the stuff a couple years ago it is aweswome just haven't been able to afford it lately plus my credit card company charges like $60.00 for overseas transactions. Clandstine La blue is my favorite.
