If you have, you join great company.

I'm allergic to alcohol...

It sounds like it tastes like Jagermeister.

I thought you meant Peter Pan, but no.

[Mikey]

Never tried it

Not a big fan of anise flavor

[Hedji]

No, but Coppola gave me a pretty good approximation of it in his Dracula film.

I tried it several years ago, wasn't a big fan of the taste though.

I have only had Absinthe once and I really enjoyed it, but it's way too pricey to enjoy more than once in a very great while.

[Nostalgiabuff]

not much of a liquor drinker, prefer my beer. although Berentzen pear goes down pretty nicely, so does the cherry for that matter

[Brazoo]

Not yet. I always think it's something I want to try, but I guess not bad enough to actually get a bottle.

Are you a big fan of it?

Here's an old pic of my setup in my basement's wine cellar (ignore the Lucid bottle, it was the first "absinthe" I bought before doing any actual research). I keep a bottle of real absinthe on hand for people wanting to try it while we're down there drinking, but personally I'm not a fan. Don't like the taste.

I've always wanted to try this, especially since I like anise flavoring. How could anyone interested in the French Decadents and British Aesthetes not be curious?

Never could shell out the bucks for the Lucid Absinthe, but I always did like the bottle design.

It's a fun drink to serve at a party because of its preparation and lurid past.

Hasnt this stuff been banned, Ive been loads of times in Czech and U can buy the stuff behind the counter, but its not got that special ingrediant? I mean Ive shot half a bottle of this stuff at 70 percent and obviously got a bit tippsy, but no other side effects, would love to try the real mcoy lol...
