I hit the Rumple Minze pretty hard last Friday after a night of drinking beer in celebration (with friends) of me getting my degree.
Let's just say from 3 to 5 that night I have no recollection of what happened. And I almost missed the graduation commencement the next morning. Never tried absinthe, but from the sounds of it I wouldn't be a huge fan. Not a big licorice guy. ____________________  |

I am now quite sick from the absinthe. As for its aniseed flavour, it's not so bad if you have it properly. The one time a friend of mine gave me a shot of pure absinthe to try, it was AWFUL. You don't drink the absinthe by itself. You need a sugar cube, and ice water. There are two ways to drink the absinthe. The Bohemian/Czech method which is more modern: the sugar cube is soaked in the absinthe, and then placed on an absinthe spoon above the absinthe and set on fire. There are a number of things you can do from there (including letting the cube set the absinthe itself on fire), but last night the cube was allowed to burn out and the sugar caremelised, before it was dropped back into the absinthe, topped up with more absinthe, and then the drink is topped up with ice water. You don't have it without the ice water, and seldom have it without the sugar. For the French variation, you don't burn the cube, it sits on top the absinthe spoon, and iced water is very slowly dripped onto the cube, which dissolves and drips into the absinthe, causing a cloudy white appearance. The sugar reduces the bitter taste and improves the flavour. Drinking neat absinthe has always been considered "socially unacceptable" amongst absinthe drinkers. Historically, people who drink their absinthe neat are alcoholics or desperate. ____________________ |

Originally posted by Bitmap I didn't "trip", I was just drunk. Quite drunk. The high alcohol content tends to "hit" you a little. The best part was the bit at the bottom of the drink where the sugar had settled. It's quite bitter unless the sugar is mixed in: that's why I kept swirling my drink to mix in the sugar. ____________________ |

Originally posted by Anya The Czech/Bohemian style is fun, but considered an "abomination" by some absinthe drinkers. It is a modern invention: only since about the 1990's, stemming from the popularity of drinks like the flaming sambuca. ____________________ |

Burnt my lips one night messing around with that. ____________________  |
