My bf and I were out at one of our usual hangouts and the bartender told us that Absinthe will be legal at least in Cali not too long from now. I am certainly looking forward to the day! I go to STL a lot to visit fam so next time I'm in town I'll hit this place up and sample some.

Very addictive and just as bitter.

Nasika is right, it was banned for a long time in australia. Its been put back on the market for at least 6months now.

Its been very popular, ive got several friends who love the stuff.
Any if you can make a comparable absinthe - your on a winning recipe.

i'd say you could even sell the recipe without too many dramas.

If you get the recipe right, you can sell it over and over and over, even if it's the simplest thing.
I know so many people that tried various mixes (most of them went straight for the anise+sage combo).
I've always cleared away from that, too scared of poisoning myself and loved ones.

I have heard that they are trying to make it illegal across the globe. I had a hard time finding it during my travels to europe last summer. Bummer!

I wonder if you could use the stuff to clean the bathroom?
Alcohol=disinfectant
Herbs=pleasant fragrance?

as much as folks knock it.....absinthe is an ESSENTIAL ingredient in MANY good cocktails. (Also, most people don't know how to drink it properly! as drunken properly it's no where near as high proof as vodka/gin/scotch)

REAL cocktails.

Sure, we have "substitutes" like Pernod or Herbsaint...but have a well made sazerac cocktail with absinthe, and one with pernod, you'll likely taste the difference.

It's a real common ingredient in cocktails, usually as a glass rinse, or a "float" in classic cocktails.

I prefer Lucid but the cocktail bar I frequent, has been using a brand, I forget the name....it's also good. possibly "Absente" brand.
