Don't waste your money. You wont be able to drink it because of the
taste (really you can't imagine how bad it tastes). It isn't legal in
the US but customs people dont seem to know what it is so you can get
it in easily.

I bought some in Chamonix this June on a lark. I didn't have any of the 'lore'
for knowing exactly how to drink it, so I tried it straight.

God! It was -AWFUL-! I pitched it. It was a 6Euro lesson in 'things that
taste horrible'. Cheap tuition.

It's not all that bad if you follow the ritual and like Anise. Was that
a 6eu bottle...?... g Perhaps a better vintage...

I heard the best 'Absinthe experience' is now homebrewed. AFAIK
importing Absinthe is forbidden in the US; and they do know what it
is... There are several sites in the Web where you may buy 'Absinthe
kits' that contain only the dried herbals so you may steep it yourself
however I don't know how US customs will regard such imports; sellers
claim no problem... Sure; 'no problem' importing strange herbals from
abroad...g

I did the same with half a bottle of duty free Pernod in my ignorant
youth. I got a bigger hangover than I ever got drinking scrumpy.

Absinthe is a liquor that can get you VERY drunk in little to no time
at all, and is right up there with Everclear, Moonshine, and the likes.
Be the life of the party anytime. Be Absinthe.

On the subject of boozing...

I was recently given a whole bag full of lemons, far too many to know
what to do with. Feeling a bit creative, I went out and bought 2
litres of alcohol from a supermarket (god bless Italy!), and have been
making limoncello. Very simple, very cheap, and very hazardous.

It was a small bottle. I would guess about 250ml (?) Doesn't matter; it was
still awful. I really expected something much different.
