Effects of Absinthe: Buy Strong Legal Absinthe in USA

[Huskerdude2791]

Wow, typical. Dont burn the sugar next time, it doesnt assimilate in the drink and completely fucks up the aromatic qualities of the drink.... Notice your friend saying "that shit stinks !", Well its not supposed to, Unless your an idiot.

[TheMrleadguitar]

you all suck!!!!

[mack89464]

LOL - omg - lighting a sugar cube over absinthe...a clear sign to all that these guys know nothing about absinthe. Douche baggery at its finest.

[1AppleofEden]

...& How about NOT making any Absinthe Czech style & leaving it up to the Swiss & French Professionals?

If you (try to) make your own with some kit & macerate herbs into grain or buy this "bitter" King of Spirits with thujone oil/tincture added to Grain alcohol you're not drinking REAL Absinthe at all...

..so guzzle it like beer all you want. Anyone who knows chemistry realizes that the Slightest variation in the Process will Greatly alter anything from a pharmaceutical drug to baking a cake

[1AppleofEden]

They may as well have used a Beer funnel to drink it.-Zero concept of what Absinthe is all about & lmao the up-loader of this video TRIES to save-face by saying this was just to show how NOT to prepare Absinthe, nice try but this being an ad for the "King of Spirits" brand IS NOT surprising, as it IS GARBAGE! & it isn't even real & Btw, you CAN Order Real Absinthe in the U.S. so don't buy King of Spirits crap! The thujone content isn't as relevant as the elaborate PROCESS & distillery required

[dilly2311]

Omg these kids who dont even look old enough to drink are doing this all wrong!! Really? no shit fuck heads their kids what do you expect?

[PatientBomb]

I don't know what is worse:

The kids in the video;

Or the raging, anti-American fools commenting.

[Libby56]

lol @ how you guys drink it.

[4q57y]

Fucking Americans. No respect for anything, that is why when they go to foreing countries they aré treated like they aré shit of shit, ignorants, disrespectful, cultureless, and dumb.

[fovilove]

@4q57y lmfao so true

[dan0987654321]

lol the rents must of been out of town for this one eh?



[daxplil]

Vinnie Van gogh would cut your balls for lightning the sugar....

[furvert101]

[zofoblues]

Fools. Here is a fool leading a group of fools. They cant even talk before drinking. There making me proud to be american,,,,(NOT)

[StewieSeedzOne]

retards!

"we are so going to Germany"

that Mr Jekyll absinth may be from Germany(and it is) but the drink originated from France

not to mention the way they prepare it like its bohemian absinth

[furvert101]

@StewieSeedzOne omg yeah! i didnt catch that but yeah... also isnt absinthe banned in germany anyway? hahaha!!! that ban i just mentioned im not sure about, but i think it might be. i could be wrong, but nevertheless if it is banned in germany, it just adds insult to injury here. haha!!! just got a bottle of mansinthe and its delicious! i mix mine like 1:4. i dont like it too strong, and plus, i get to enjoy it longer that way!

[Rainbowmoonraven]

the site they send you to has trojans too~ LOL

[Mike0neMusic]

jesus... douchy noobs who watched too much of euro trip. better off huffin paint.

[Ladyofdeath777]

WTF... DON'T ever light your Absinthe!!!!!

[nostolgia]

Fuckin chads.

[jott1717]

Nice drip technique faggots

[lexierokey]

"I mix it with energy drinks, I can't drink this shit straight."

Awesome.

[MajesticProphicy]

They ruined it by accidentaly lighting the shot on fire :P

[gabyyyn]

OMG come to Switzerland if you want to drink REAL absinthe the RIGHT way ...

You guys are lacking culture ...

Take care

[CanEHdianRocker]

Morons....

[hedied4us22]

These people have no clue what absinthe is or what its about nor do they have a clue what there talking about, that girl in that background is very lame. Im so sorry for the lack of information these people have on the truth and history let alone proper serving of this drink

[brenyboy26]

you don't have to use sugar... sugar was originally used to cover badly produced absinthe to cover the bitterness. A good absinthe only requires a shot glass and a glass of water nearby if you are a firsty...

[nalyib]

@brenyboy26 Sugar was originally used because it was very fashionable and luxurious back then. Even Pernod Fils advertised absinthe drinking with sugar:)

[Zodist]

FAILED.

[Heurvert]

I'm, I'm not angry...

I'm just very disappointed.

[toranamunter]

"we're so going to Germany" "I'm going to the Caribbean in january" hahahaah yeah that's like, in europe right? americans... most of them don't have passports, and that's a good thing ;-)

[DrScoopinStein]

kids with too much money

[SRS4201]

They did the sugar wrong.

They did the water wrong.

They drank it all in one hit.

They used Jekyll absinthe (I think) - which is shite.

These idiots have no idea what they're doing.

[precenphix]

Great. Frat monkeys drinking garbage...and drinking it improperly because they saw it in a movie.

A. That's not real absinthe.

B. That's not how to *drink* absinthe.

[krycer123]

@precenphix the is real absinth "Mr Jeckyl" German brand. i drink it,, its got a sweeter taste and isn't designed to by had with lit sugar like the czech one, its just louch with cold water, and YES they are tards v,v

[precenphix]

:facepalm:

*sigh* No...no, it's not. Nice try, though. Do yourself a favor and do some research with a reputable forum or two. You'll find there's very tasty stuff out there...not this.

Unless you're just trying to market this stuff to people on the premise that they'll fall victim to it.

[krycer123]

@precenphix its absinth, german made absinth, nuff said, its got wormwood anise and fennel. its absinth, lol its prob not grap based but it is absinth

[precenphix]

I've had German absinthe. Eichelberger is an excellent example of Germany's contribution to the spirit.

I've researched Jeckyl. It's swill.

[ACMan5000]

you dont know how to drink Absinthe...lighting a suger cube???...your an idiot

[justgoaz]

its not a shooter thats just a waste you savor it

[JimiTheSaint206]

I love how they talk like they know everything about the way of preparing it.

If you wanna get drink waste something else.

There are cheaper ways to do it.

If you want an experience of really enjoying it and its art, add Ice water and sugar... slowly.

[scifiaudious2]

nope. not the way-

sugar+water-more to it buttttt

[elizabetoorose]

And a 69 on the wall to top it all off. Classy.

[AbnerSnoot]

These guys are idiots. "Let's get fucked up dude!" They prob drank cough syrup in High School!

[latiasandlatios4ever]

im in high school and even i know beer is one off the best ways to get drunk cheap.

[mth112791]

Hey how about this, you all are pussies.

[poopypantsism]

fucking ammature idiots

[MissBabeeCakes]

Drink it like we do in Australia, straight bi the bottle pussys lol Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi. pure pride :)

[stuartpieper]

you guys are retards .. thats all the wind i'm gonna waste with this vid.

[Dan243169]

Take note, this is a perfect example on how not to drink Absinthe

[BrothelSprout420]

Im gana stab this guy in the video for lighting the sugar... fucking retards

[Cyndane]

@BrothelSprout420: I thought lighting the sugar was the Czech way of preparing absinthe?

[fovilove]

@BrothelSprout420 i second that

[hpjunky70]

@BrothelSprout420 You should light it.

[nondescriptcitizens]

First of all lighting the sugar on fire is nothing more than a parlor trick. It actually removes some of the alcohol and offsets the true flavor of the drink in a bad way. No Absinthe distiller would ever do that. Second, you are frat boys and will never understand the allure behind the drink as it is something to be savored not chugged like a beer. I can't believe a company used that video as adspace to sell Absinthe. If you are really interested in absinthe do not do anything these guys did.

[timtico]

I know, what an idiots....

[NuttySMX]

actually no one cares and i drink it how ever i want i fucking like the taste of caramelized sugar and actually i use mineral water plaus i chug it thats how a man drinks absinth but if youre a pussy and decide to drink a single glass of absinth in like 2 hours thats fine pussy!

[highonmalice]

@NuttySMX y u calling ppl pusssyysss drink it straight u pussy

[NuttySMX]

actually done in flamed shots ya dig??

[highonmalice]

nah but i dnt diloutte abstineh with mineral water lmao

[TheBonnieRose]

When you surn your absinthe, you are burning off alcohol, so, it won't be as potent. Sugar is optional, and burning is not needed. It's also not meant to be "chugged" ... it's a spirit that should be sipped and savoured, as it has a lot of aromatic botanical qualities (which are damaged and/or completely ignored when you set it on fire and chug it it down.)

What a shame.

[mitchyd89]

Thank you thebonnierose. People don't know how to drink spirits, whiskey, liquor etc. Its sad and that is what causes stupid people to do stupid things. Sip and savor!

[Raylj318]

"i cant wai to go to germany" over rated im going to japan

[jamjar1314]

germany over rated????? are you mental, Hamburg is possibly the greatest city in europe.....well top 5 anyway.......i think the dam takes that title

[elendil77]

Now, sugar is optional, true, but this has nothing to do with quality, it has to do with bitterness! Bitter absinthe are by no means inferior, they just have more wormwood. You said sugar was burnt to hide bad absinthe...well, that is true, but you have implied that that was done back in the golden days of absinthe!!! Sugar burning did not exist before the late 90s and yes then it was used to hide cheap swill, but also to impress silly tourists with invented "tradition".

[elendil77]

Of course you CAN drink it straight, but there isn' a soul in this universe that can persuade me that anyone actually enjoyed that! I have tried it once, and I did survive as you can see, but that was a nasty experience, and I have a silly idea that expensive drinks should be enkoyed, not consumed to impress bimbos.

If someone wants to do that, he can buy 90% industrial alcohol and dilute to 70%....no harm in that!

[timtico]

Drinking pure doesnt bring out the nice aroma's -unless you have crappy fake absint- i would never drink it without water.

[elendil77]

alkafx

Ypu are a well of false information! Wikipedia? Well it's tru it is not always a vey reliable source, BUT the descrption you can find in it is the ritual that is to be found in VERY major absinthe website(Wormwood Society, FeeVerte etc).

Wtaer was NOT added to cover up anything, water has always been a part of absinthe consumption, not just because the drink is too strong, but also because only after the louche, you get the FULL FLAVOR!

[elendil77]

LOL...people, READ THE DESCRIPTION, for Christ sake!!! The title is a little misleading, because most people don't read the video description, but they DO say "how NOT to prepare absinthe"

[2andrewd]

as soon as i heard the music i knew we were in for douche baggery

[Tokay18]

douche baggery indeed

[dougalina123]

STUPID, stupid people! You don't light, burn or caramelize the sugar. You really don't even add sugar...if it's GOOD absinthe. You just add water...slowly to bring out the aromatic qualities. And "chugging" it? NO...you sip to let the flavors splash all over your palette. I hate this false sense of "sophistication" these guys are trying to portray.

[omlas6]

Okay smart-ass what made you presume that this WAS a good absinth, maybe its a cheap bad tasting one, but even if its a top-noch grade A quality absinth people can still put sugar in it to improve its taste, and YES people occasionly do LIGHT it to caramelise the sugar or just cause it looks beautiful as the sugar burns on top of the glass.

[tristenman123]

i know bro, you dont need sugar, along time ago the sugar was use to cover bad absinthe,

[deceiver1217]

blasphemer!!! never light the sugar, drink straight, or splash chlorinated tap water into a glass of good Absinthe (even though that is crap they're drinking) you're wasting what others could purely appreciate

anyone with a vid of a good pre-ban louche?

[mebbmebbmibbmibb]

drink water!! something like 80% of americans are dangerously dehydrated please wake up...

those girls sound so dumb and so do you guys...but the girls especially...makes me ashamed to be american.

[dailyboom1211]

i find it funny that alot of people are trashing the guys preparing the drink...not realizing the description SAYS:"Absinthe King of Spirits, In this video my friends show you how NOT to make absinthe Czech style! "

[mob210sa]

This is GARBAGE and i think everyone here agrees. LOL when he just splashed in some random ass amount of tap water. Trying to impress sum bitches too bad you didnt tip over the flaming glass of Absinthe onto yourself lol

[SicSkatez]

he wasn't trying to impress anyone

why would u think that?

[virgilio0616]

This is what happens when the Instant Gratification Generation try to drink a sophisticated libation like Absinthe. They treat it like a cheap bar shot. Sad...very sad! Makes you want to slap them in the back of the head and tell them to go back to drinking beer. They would never truly understand and appreciate a good Absinthe. They're just looking for a quick buzz. Bunch of mongoloid!

[justpictures1]

lol wrong wrong wrong!!!! You dont burn the sugar, you add drops of cold water, and you dont fucking chug the drink!

[RobH1994]

your supposed to caramelise the sugar, not burn it

[generaldisdain]

I am ashamed to be an american,in this country it seems any and all regaurd for tradition and class have been trampled.

[MistaJussu]

n00bs. -__-

[rayallen1137]

lol King of Spirits? might as well have been drinking mouthwash and everclear. it's funny how they pretend to be tripping. actually it's sad.

[qpalqlap]

if douchey little kids are gonna try and drink a real mans drink, they should at least learn how, the little fucks

[strawberrybunnies]

u didnt do that right at all!-- U never burn the sugar...the sugar is used to make it less bitter ...thats it... and u also add drips of cold water on the sugar to make it less bitter too... duh...look it up ..

[fogant]

why do u ahve to add shuger

[SicSkatez]

well u dont have to add sugar...unless u love it fckng bitter as hell...

[W13isgod]

you ruined good absinthe

[pustyak]

WOW you did every thing wrong :(

[AsianSensation916]

:( dang...shame.

[WSAT1945]

Haha once when i got too drunk, I was killing a fcking bottle of 0,5l absinth with a friend. I was just fucking fucking drunk, I fucked a girl bout 3 hours

*thumbs up* for the good old original german absinth

[scramble45]

Sugar just covers up a bad Absinthe

[maryjohnson2134]

Absinthe is amazing. So delicious like cake. Liquid funny cake.

[billMe08]

try some Le Tourment Vert way better

[poeticalmath]

wow!!! looks so tasty!

[michelleskimo]

ohh nice touch with the apricots!

[gwainjar07]

Not really the proper way to drink it. You are supposed to sip it, and enjoy it. Plus, adding sugar, and especially burning it was just to hide bad alcohol, but don't let this stop you.

[MetallicAsian]

Burning/Carmelizing Step was added to mask shitty Absinthe

[jestiron]

Absinthe to me IS about history and ritual. The louche is what the general populous knows. alkafx seems to know far more than I do...and am curious of WHERE I can learn more (link me please).

Absinthe is just a drink? Sure, if you insist. But that's like saying a Mustang is just a car.

"The Green Fairy", in my opinion, is not a sorority girl. She is a muse, and given her age probably doesnt like RAP. Try some Radiohead instead.

What is missing from today's Absinthe?

[gimmiedatgitar]

You can google wormwood society and they'll give you all the info you need: the history, proper way to serve and even reliable websites to order from. I got my bottle of Edouard 72 from one of their recommended websites. It is an incredible absinthe. Also, to answer your question, nothing is missing from today's absinthe. The Jade Liquers line of absinthe is made the same way it was before the ban. Hoped that helps you.

[RatRace84]

This is just Bohemian way.. Or kind of.. That s just for show There are NO hallucinogenic, psychedelic, or narcotic effect..

[AimForTheH3ad]

i make it rain on em hoes!!

4sho dude, lets get fuck'd up.

[kcutnt]

hey dumbass, don't light the sugar

[alkafx]

dumb fucking naive lil frat boys drinking absinthe the wrong way. if you have good-quality absinthe on you your supposed to drink it straight up. the whole cube-water dripping thing is a ritual in order to make bitter, poor-quality absinthe taste better.

[JoeVSvolcano]

wikipedia org /wiki/Absinthe

You buy your at 7-11? You don't know what your talking about. Read up on it over at Wikipedia before you talk like you KNOW next time. The water has always been used to bring out the anise and fennel flavors in the liquid.

[alkafx]

Good quality absinthe like Jade Liqueurs, for example, does not need water-dripping-over-cube ritual. When I say ritual, I seriously mean that the whole process is a ritual. The water over the cube thing came about in order to flavor the unbearably bitter-tasting "crapsinthe" from the Czech Republic. So unless your absinthe tastes bitter and nasty, no water is necessary. Wikipedia? LOL

[RatRace84]

sugar ice water "ritual" is been done cause. The botanical oils from the anise and fennel do not mix with water but are readily dissolved in the high-proof alcohol during the distillation process. When absinthe is diluted with water, the oils from the anise and fennel come out of solution with the alcohol to form a colloidal suspension (microscopic oil droplets) with the water, causing a beautiful cloudy effect, known as the louche.

[flip9]

who gives a shit? as long as people enjoy it and it gets them drunk who cares? you take this drink too seriously

[alkafx]

i was responding to someone naive about this subject. If you don't give a shit, why do you respond? You might as well make a martini with an apricot in it. It still gets you drunk even though you look like an idiot doing it -.-

[flip9]

that actally sounds delicious. i love apricots!!! thank you!!!

[madmoose6]

I drank half a 5th of absinthe one night and had no effects at all these guys are fakes

[DropkickIrish]

These are the biggest tools I have ever seen. They mix in tap water?? They were probably walking around pretending to be messed up with effects that don't even exist with absinth. But then again, they would have to of had actual absinth instead of that green toilet wine they thought was real. Then they chug it?!? A perfect group of moron Americans believing they are cool with their fat girlfriend in the background. Mix green low grade alcohol with tap water and it's a party. Dumb bastards.

[aslansalive]

hahaha.. i'm no expert, but if i was going to drink it like these kids i sure as shit would not film it and post it online..

[TheBlackSheep2134]

idiots

[rich107s]

Hey, More kiddies ruining Absinthe. Hey Bro seen "From Hell" one to many Times. God I cant look or listen to these little jackass's another second.

[joethegreat09]

You put all that effort in to "making it taste better"<lol) then you drink it that fast and dont even taste it wtf lol piss head kids.

[theblackcrowe]

Ouch Kids! Learn the proper way to prepare Absinthe and it's a whole new experience. The Wormwood Society would be a good place to start for info.

However, there are different ways to enjoy history's most notorious drink, so, to each his own. For your party, the Czech Huffing Ritual would have fit right in. Look that one up! You'll see what I mean!

Cheers!

[chrisisaboss707]

i agree with blazon. the best way to ruin your absinthe is to set fire to it.

[quegonorreatutubo]

you people dont know how to prepare it and much less how to drink it

[blazon420]

burning the sugar is the perfect way to kill good absinthe... use cold water over the sugar and it will taste tons better unless you buy cheap stuff

[YieArKungFu]

Don't worry... because it's not good absinthe. In fact it's not even absinthe at all.

So let them set fire to it, nuke it, whatever.

[Averyofthemain]

I think what they had was absinthe. Just because an absinthe has a thujone lever over 10mcg or if it's say, carbon filtered instead of distilled, it's still absinthe.

[YieArKungFu]

Thujone levels are irrelevant. Distillation is vital. But really I was basing my point more upon the fact that that isn't real absinthe.
