I'm particularly fond of the Absinthe Frappe feautred on Anders Erickson's channel: absinthe, simple, and muddled lemon wedges shaken with crushed ice open-gate poured into a tumbler topped with soda water. The lemon-anise combo is 👌👌👌
Before the ban was lifted, a coworker of mine got a care package sent from his home with a nice bottle of absynth. I'll never forget the milky sweet and herbal delight of my first taste. I've had it since the ban in the US... but there was something so very special about illegal green faerie booze smuggled from Europe
Cool video about an under-appreciated spirit. Much of the credit for its return is due Ted Breaux, a chemist (and now accomplished absinthe maker) who helped jumpstart the legal reappraisals.
Yeah, that stuck out like sore thumb in an otherwise good video. I've known a few who tried the fire ritual with a good absinthe for some of the caramel notes he mentioned. But, honestly, you can get similar notes (as well as some different notes) from using either a brown sugar cube, a raw sugar cube, or some combination of the two. I've made enough peace with the fire ritual to be happy enough so long as they're using a real absinthe and not some Czech-style "absinthe," but it still hurts.
Glad that you chose Pernod Superior. That's my absinthe of choice when I go to a cocktail bar. I can't have it at home because I'm kosher. I also made a similar drink to the absinthe high ball using Arak. It's a lebanese anise liquor that is also the national drink of Israel, Syria and Palestine. At least we can agree on that when we're not killing eachother.
With all due respect, no matter how many people do it, the fire ritual is not a 'classic serve'. It was invented in the 1990s to increase sales of low quality knock off product that bore no resemblance to authentic absinthe. Also, authentic, well made absinthe isn't bitter. They used sugar so much during the Belle Epoque because they enjoyed sweet things, not because it was too bitter.
Yeah, those two points, but especially the fire ritual, stuck out as sore thumbs in an otherwise good video.

Very interesting episode, I'd definitely try the flamed one! For those who want to now more about the history How to Drink made a video about that, if I recall correctly
This absinthe isn´t much good. If i can recomand some Yggdrasil from Saar whiskey is awesome, from france is my prefered Jade Nouvelle Orleans and from Switzerland Martin 54

I love this drink! This combo work so great together!
Facial hair, fire, myths, and a safety warning… this is like an episode of Mythbusters 😮!
Great vid, I will dust off my absinthe fountain, but also try the shaken version. Surprised you didn’t ask for the Green Fairy emoji 🧚
Enjoy making drinks with your fountain. You are right! We should bring out this fairy emoji 😃

I love absinthe but mostly as a modifier. Gotta try the highball with orgeat to see if that changes though!
Cheers!
Kevin, thanks for mention Switzerland! even thought it wasn’t the most prestigious time of its history…
"Spank it to release essential oils" i swear my wife said the same thing....
Absinth, just a little bit of white sweet vermouth, lemon and elderflower sirup. That was my early bartending party shots in a club i used to work 👌
I always called the highball version the Momisette. Now that’s a drink that’ll sneak up on you!
I love this variaton! For sure it'll sneak up on you 😄 Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Very nice 👌 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you have any knowledge on Arak, the anise flavored liquor from the middle east? I would love to make a cocktail, but it's a very intense flavor.
It seems both Absinthe and Arak have some similar notes. Try using it in the same way as I did here.
Friends don't let friends burn absinthe 😢
