Bohemian Absinth Method

[BeingHumanAintEasy]

Don't let the absinthe catch fire, you will damage the absinthe, as opposed to your face

[Plevell]

how to drink absinth: 1. open bottle, 2. pour absinth into a glass, 3. drink absinth like a boss (not mouthwash made from absinth by burning all the alcohol)

[turquoisesnake92]

Bohemian my ass...

[DefunDio]

Questa è una vera ZOZZERIA!

L'assenzio (o meglio il liquore all'assenzio) non si serve cosi! Primo: lo zucchero non và caramellato, secondo: l'acqua è versata in modo maldestro; và versata poco per volta e lentamente, meglio se viene usata ciò che in gergo si chiama "fontana per l'assenzio"; terzo: lo zucchero deve essere totalmente sciolto... PUAH! Beviti un amaro lucano e fai meno il convintone.

[NicholasGNN]

это не абсент, а какая то лажа, при разбавлении водой он даже не помутнел

[fatboy9954]

hahahahaha "sugar lumps"? this video is not correct! lighting the cube is not correct and you did a poor job at making this drink.

[astraltears1]

There was not even a louche, if there was It was a really bad one. Most likely Czech crap. Warning to people most (not all) most Absinthe from the Czech Republic (Bohemian) isn't even real Absinthe, a lot of times its Vodka soaked in wormwood leaves or some other dreadful concoction used for the purpose of ripping off uneducated idiots who don't know what the real deal is. Don't be insulted, I used to be one of those Idiots and I payed for it (not just in money either). So know your Absinthe !!!

[tubad4ya66]

Hill's Absinth should be burned, but never consumed. It's for suckers - nothing but flavorless, rebottled Windex.

[JURPO90]

the real way to drink absinth:

1. open the bottle.

2. drink the whole bottle in under 10 seconds

3. die

[TheFoxyNL]

stupid frenchman!

[Beatnikzombie]

This looks like some cheap ass absinthe. And you never set it on fire. It ruins it.

[heffyfatman123]

@Beatnikzombie i think the gallon of water ruined it

[JezusHD]

Wanna know how i prepare my absinth? first i open the bottle of the absinth, then i put it to my mouth, and down my throat it goes ;) fuck this drink mixing crap

[urban7rat]

@JezusHD hey im about to try it for the first time, so is there really no problem by just drinking it straight from the bottle? doesn it taste bad? does it have same effect?

cheers

[nejim4r10]

@urban7rat I don't think so , it has a very high alcohol volume, thats why they mix it with sugar and water

[urban7rat]

@nejim4r10 thanks fos answering! i will try it this week,  cheers !

[nejim4r10]

@urban7rat np, but I'm now expert soo

[JezusHD]

@urban7rat this is a couple days old but when u drink absinth plain and just take shots, it gets you really fucked up

[urban7rat]

@JezusHD eeeeks!, we actually postponed it for this week in a couple of days, thanks for he tip!!

[ptipouxlezoo123]

Yes this is surely a guy from Québec, I am as well, I can recognize the accent.

[xXMaggieMaeXx]

For everyone complaining about his French, he sounds like he has a thick Québec accent. Especially when he said "verre". And I agree, it's a very weird accent.

[MushroomedAnymore]

That's pretty quick absinthe. McDonalds should jump on the oppurtunity. People should drive-thru and take it to work! :-D

[Rogermuffinstuff]

I cringed when it said appreciate your absinthe.

[raphael3712]

D'ou venez-vous?

[Grafzaaiers]

that was not even close to being caramelized enough..if you do it, then atleast do it right :/

[Valc0nPr1me]

Man I love when the subtitles are in the middle of the screen!

[lepetitdiscordance]

@HowlingStatic hahaha true. 

[alwayson09]

The drip method seems much more desirable, so much alcohol is burnt off with this method.

[Booya9272]

Dude are you really speaking French, your accent sounds like fucking shit!!

[stmbaah]

diabedies!



[eq888]

gay in url ???

why ?

[T7Santiiago]

Considering that Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine were absinthe-alcoholics, Isn't it hilarious that the link has 4GAY in it ?

[GrantW219]

Absinthe is good for u, if u treat it bad it will be bad like anything else. it is very good for Pain as the herbs in it help ease it. it was invented by a Dr

[crunchzor]

@GrantW219 So was LSD :-)

[spencexxx]

Shaken, Not Stirred....

[gatto012]

holy shit video

[unnaturaltragedy]

There is absolutely nothing right about this video. The only proper way to prepare Hill's Absinth is to put it in a spray bottle for cleaning your windows.

[littlegambler]

Screw the water!.. Your pour in more absinth!

[gxsrripper]

we we

[nwfklan]

you didnt "shake" it

[aaronvespro]

what, no huffing?

[TheMrSionne]

troppa acqua...una parte d'acqua e una parte d'assenzio...oppure senza riscaldare lo zucchero:una parte d'assenzio e quattro di acqua!e vedi va!

[lilithsguy666]

That absinthe is shit. not green at all and when he put water in it, it did not go pearly.

[THUNDERCHUNKY100]

@GenocideTabarnak est-ce que vous ete Canadien ou Francais?

[polomex1]

@THUNDERCHUNKY100 bein il a un accent quebecois :P alors je dirais canadien xD

[Fan666Maiden]

The Bohemian Absinthe method: how to ruin your absinthe -,-

Not that it really matters if you drink crap like that stuff you use in the video.

[carterquesnelleTV]

would you like some Absinthe with that water? Good god ive probablly tasted koolaid stronger than that drink.

[WhiteNoice1292]

французишься выебнулся

[MementoNecare]

As a side note: Avoid "Absinthe" that looks unnatural and smells like chemicals. If you're looking for a moderately priced, yet very good Absinthe, try Absinthe Duplais Verte or Absinthe Brevans A.O. Spare.

[bestfrproduction1]

ta surment po 18 big XD

[ExtremeDeathman]

Uhaaa! Nasty Hills Absinth! How could a french ever drink nasty Hills Absinthe?

It's one of the worst there is, and isn't really Absinthe!

Drink some Verte de Fougerolles or Duplais Verte!

[jpm4444]

I dont like it this way because you don't see the cloud of "green mist" in the glass. Nice job though and good instructions

[MementoNecare]

@jpm4444

I doesn't get cloudy, because it lacks anise (and fennel). This isn't even "real" Absinthe.

[hooflung]

Er. What? I thought absinth was a cloudy color when water is added.... NOT clear....

[Fan666Maiden]

@hooflung - Well... ABSINTHE normally does get a cloudy colour, but this stuff...

[danwhitaker]

Pour a shot of mouthwash over your sugercube. Light it on fire. Add a gallon of water. Voila!

[Principleofevile]

Dude drink your spirits however you want...Most of these kids are too young to be drinking anyway and my guess is that they found most of their information on the all powerful wiki and have never even SEEN a bottle of Absinth...let alone actually drank it

[gothicgrowler]

too much water... you ruined it =(

[myemptybedroom]

that's not bohemian. that's just being diluted for the underaged.

[Sinjinator]

I like Sugar Cube Flambé as much as any pyro, but that seems to be too much added water.

[antikkrist666]

this is so dumb, yeah derp lets burn our alcohol we just paid for! gotta carmelize that sugar derrrr

[diabloblanco84]

Absinthe is NOT PREPARED like that..... you DONT BURN the sugar,,,, that " ritual " is modern crap.......... the proper way to prepare it is by putting your absinthe in the special glass, put the special spoon on the top of the glass with the sugar cube and add fresh water, thats it........... no burning......

[dipikanayak86]

@diabloblanco84 : I guess historically Absinthe preparation never involved any fire, but this is the bohemian method and it uses fire to caramelize the sugar.. Also icecold water is supposed to be poured slowly and not like this guy who sloshes water!

[diabloblanco84]

@dipikanayak86 you are right :D but honestly i prefer the traditional orthodox way, i think it is a matter of personal taste ;) greetings......

[dipikanayak86]

@diabloblanco84 : absolutely, infact i know many people who consider this way, a travesty.. however each to their own! Oh and Greetings to you too :)

[nalyib]

@dipikanayak86 Bohemian 'method' was made up for "bohemian absinth" (i.e. disgusting bitter spirit drinks posed as absinthe, like that blue mouthwash up there). Burning sugar have never had anything to do with real absinthe.

Of course it's personal taste... just like mixing 18-year old single malt whisky with coke. You can call that "personal taste", too.

[Tropetre]

Do you know what shake is? :P

[Nakedbloodymonkey]

89.9% extra strength, beautiful.

[MedicalChew]

not the right method surebut a whole hell lot more fun to look at.

[behemoth1966]

And you get a glass of sugared water!

lol.

[123wishuponastar456]

this guy cant speak english, or type it right either

[hellcatjay]

@sniperinnova23 actually this is the bohemian method the only problem is he had the opposite amounts of absinth and water

[deadsexy1985]

i thought he was going to say "Voila" at the end :(

[Xevorim]

l'accent Quebecois...quelle horreur.

anyways, you should add water slowly observing that the absinthe becomes cloudy completely. That's when you know you've had enough water.

ou est-ce la maniere dont laquelle les quebecois preparent l'absinthe?!

LAME

[sniperinnova23]

that's not the original bohemian method... that method was invented in the 90's in the countries that absinth was legal. the original method is put the sugar cube and drop water on top of it until it totally melts. look it up.

[bloodfromthedevil]

You mine as well take a glass of water and add a sugar cube. Don't waste the Absinthe like that.

[AttemptingToBeBusy]

Check out the URL on this video. :L

[tarao666]

@meboge0 Although a lot of brands sell that as Absinth, very few real "connoisseurs" will dare to call that absinth. Real absinth are naturally colored and thus from the light yellowish-green colour you mention.

[tarao666]

That´s not real absinth, and that´s not the proper way to prepare it. But since the producers of from hell went cheap avoiding to hire an abinth expert, now half the world belive that heregy as the proper way to prepare it. What a shame.

[williamgatesenson]

thats not absinthe, thats listerine

[thegurlnextdoor1000]

je comprend le francais!!!! les canadiens FTW!!!!! CANADIANS RULE

[SuperJandeman]

@thegurlnextdoor1000 do you know south park??

[ravel111]

I didn't think it was possible for the french language to sound that bad... but you did it...

[ravel111]

@T7Santiiago I think he might just be from quebec. I cannot STAND the Canadian accent. It's absolutely horrid, ruins the beauty of french, IMHO.

[skyhacker6]

Décidément les Bohémien sont vraiment de drôle de personnes !

C'est une préparation complétement contraire à l'éthique même de l'Absinthe ! Le feu tue les arômes et c'est justement le fait de verser au goutte à goutte l'eau froide que l'on permet à l'Absinthe de dégager toutes ses senteurs.

[AhNonNeeMoose]

you are an idiot. anyone who puts an flame near flammable alcohol is an idiot.

[TockCease]

@AhNonNeeMoose Obvious you don't drink or go to bars.

[m4ssee]

Does it taste good?

[SteShredder]

why is your absinthe light-blue??

[meboge0]

@SteShredder There is a lot of difference in color between brands, due to variations in the herbs and any artificial colorings added. Classic absinthe verte has the more familiar light yellowish-green color, but Bohemian absinthe lacks many of the same herbs and frequently has that blue-green color instead. You can also find neon green, red, and blue types, usually the cheaper brands that are sold all over Europe in touristy areas.

[nalyib]

@meboge0 Actually, there is a general misconception in Eastern Europe (and probably also elsewhere) that absinthe was emerald green. The Czech imitations probably started off artifically coloured like emerald because of that. Real absinthe never looks like that.

[Davy1288]

this isn't how Wikipedia told me to do it. lol

[joeaalb]

You are supposed to put the fire out by pouring the water on it. 2 oz. absinthe, 1 cube of sugar and 3 oz. water.

[EyeBlowTreez]

all the real drinkers noticed the problem, way to much water

[ReactiveStudios]

Anybody else notice the end of the video spells GAY?

[Bazzabazeman]

you should just pour the water, a few drips, through the spoon withouth the whole sugar stuff. That way it is way better, at least IMO, and you can taste all the flavours it has perfectly

[xEmoHardcoreGirlx]

yum sugar water. lol

[socialambiguity]

I guess I have been doing it wrong all of these years. I pour the cold water on the icecube after it has been on fire for 5-10 seconds. Then I stir with the spoon.

[OutfittersOfArt]

@socialambiguity sounds like a mix of the two preparation methods- it sounds wonderful to me anyway

[HomieVidz]

would you like some absinthe with your water?

[tsibaenapeos]

you are putting too much water

[Xx13WiLL13xX]

be careful, if the absinth take fire, blow it it, because not only could your house burn down, but it'll ruin your drink.

[Wolvve]

@Xx13WiLL13xX its good with alot of water

[animeXdanceXreader]

looks so good

[ktconlon]

[HighestRank]

[MrTURK5314]

@HighestRank -.-'!

Put your finger in your dogs ass.

Take your moms ring out your dogs ass.

And then buy a lighter.

[HighestRank]

@MrTURK5314 now the sugar, the sugar, how do I get the sugar?

[HighestRank]

[MrTURK5314]

[jakubpanyr]

[wallacetf]

[benknowsbest1]

@wallacetf hahahahahahahaha, ahhhhh that made me chuckle

[miroslavsafin]

@benknowsbest1 hahahaha

[back2thefutre]

fart poo

[93fufu93]

lol i usually use half absinth half water ^^

[MrCssler]

totally wrong boy! XD

[back2thefutre]

homo says what

[JuggaloNinjaClown]

@back2thefutre WHAT (no homo)

[xlechasseurx]

tu met bin trop deau ....

[TheJirobo]

Way too much water.

[crnibombarderb52]

NO FIRE MORON!!!

[bolch88bb8]

stupid drink

[Wushu17]

Uuuh, that's a lot of water.

[93freestyl93]

@Wushu17 yeah well if u know that absinth has like 75% alcohol and if he fills up 2/3 with water you have 25% alcohol left

[JakeEricson]

@Wushu17 Absinthe is about 70% alcohol. Have fun taking your shot of near-moonshine alcohol.

[TheLoulou2626]

Sacrilège pour la Fée Verte. Le sucre doit s'éteindre seul. Puis on verse de l'eau très fraîche sur le sucre, en goutte à goutte. Une fois le sucre complétement fondu, on remue l'Absinthe, puis on déguste. La préparation du temps de mon grand-père durait une demi heure.

Jean-Lou du Sud-est de la France.

[thompson8305]

i thought you were supposed to pour the ice water over the sugar cube as well. either way, it is what it is. all the media and hype and mystery to it made it much bigger than what it is. i got a 70% bottle and that will rip your ball hair off if you go neat.

[PrupleFlea]

omg u doing it wrong... first but in the water (about 2/4ths of the glass) then put the spoon on there.. then the sugar CUBE on the spoon.. then slowly drip the absinthe on the sugar (untill you have dripped 1/4ths of the glass) than light the sugar.. w8 alittle.. and enjoy!

[nalyib]

@PrupleFlea No, it's not the part he's doing wrong. It''s okay to burn mouthwash, but it should be poured down the sink afterwards:)

[velanidisGR]

I HAVE THE SAME BOTTLE! 100% THE SAME BUT MINE IS GREEN!

[UKairsoft94]

@velanidisGR So that would be 99%

[Timmevds]

@velanidisGR 100%? absinthe is bout 70-80% my friend

[velanidisGR]

@Timmevds i didnt say 100% alcohol i said 100% the shame bottle

[AlcoholicSemenStain]

I did this and burnt down part of my kitchen

[1ukjunglednbraver]

i just put a spoon of suger in it and twice as much water...simple easy no fucking about....there doesnt need to be a ritual

[KeokeSilverFang]

YAY WATER DOWNED MOUTHWASH!

[MartyMcCarthy]

To add some more "Hills" is NOT true Absinthe. Try St. Antoine - that's real Czech(Bohemian) Absithe guys!

[MartyMcCarthy]

No fire! It ruins the absithe! Just drops of icy water. 1 part of Absinthe : 3 parts of water. ;-)

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@MartyMcCarthy yeh your just burning the alcohol away with the taxes on acohol its just silly to waste your money....im drinking the stuff now its real nice 60% has a right kick up the arse to it... pure anyway

[KingTrebla]

Tip guys, i had it the other day.

To avoid lighting all the absinthe, hold the sugar cube in your hand over the glass, pour the absinte over so it is soaked in it then place the spoon and sugar cube ontop, then light.

In my own opinion dont prepare itthis way, prepare it with very slow water droops over the top of the sugar cube. No fire needed...

[AxiisGaming]

Apreciate your absinthe :P

[KingTrebla]

GETTING FUCKED UP TOMMORROW :D :D :D

[christianvanschijnde]

pastiche! this is not the way to pepare Absinthe

[lisfub]

this is not the way to do it! the Bohemians did not set it on fire!

[lisfub]

this is not the way to do it!

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

A good portrayal of this is in the movie " From Hell " with Johnny Depp ... except he drips some laudanum on his sugar cube : )

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

What is the main chemical in absinthe ?

[nalyib]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa Ethanol.

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@nalyib Then why do people say it produces a hallucinogenic effect?

[nalyib]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa It's a long story. Chronic alcoholics begin to hallucinate after a few weeks, so the anti-absinthe campaigners stressed out this effect, forgetting to mention it also works with rum, gin, vodka, etc. Then, Dr. Magnan tried to link this effect to wormwood, stating that absinthe drinkers have "more active hallucinations" than other alcoholics. Several years after the ban, illiterate journalists began to mention absinthe as a "hallucinogenic" drink. That's the short version.

[nalyib]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa It also should be noted that the British were laughing at the French for half a century for not being able to handle alcoholism, but making up theories like "absinthism" instead.

The British have never banned absinthe, since they had the same menace with gin about 150 years earlier. Gin has a pretty similar history like absinthe except it wasn't banned. There were very low-grade versions, it was adulterated, and then it was blamed for everything, and was rolled back by laws.

[furvert101]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa alcohol considering that its usually over 50%. but the alcohol in absinth comes from the wormwood, not yeast, so its an entirely different alcohol. i also find the effects of wormwood alcohol last longer than that of yeast alcohol and other drinking alcohol, and you have a clear level mind even while intoxicated on it. you can be drunk and your mind stays somewhat sober. but you do laugh alot. lol!

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@furvert101 So its kinda of like Jager ??? your body feels drunk but sober in your mind lol ?

[furvert101]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa no, cause jager will just fuck you up. period... but i love jager! lol

[iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa]

@furvert101 Jager doesnt really " fuck me up " well it does but way later into my drunk its like it doesnt kick in until 3 hours after you drink it haha

[furvert101]

@iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa what im saying is that if you were to drink the amount of absinthe as it would take jager to fuck you up, you would still have a clear head, as with jager, you would just be fucked up.

[nalyib]

@furvert101 Absinthe is not fermented from wormwood. The herbs are soaked in an already-distilled spirit and then it' is distilled again.

Yes, most absinthes tend to act as a "speedball" combination, since some herbs are stimulants (not only the wormwood!), but it's similar to coffee laced with brandy. Yet you'd never notice them without alcohol, so funnily, coffee can be considered much more "psichoactive" than wormwood:)

[furvert101]

@nalyib well, wormwood isnt really psychoactive unless you smoke it anyway. lol!

[furvert101]

@nalyib ok, but i thought the alcohol was formed from the wormwood... i need to look this up and get my facts straight... you seem like you know what your talking about.

[TRuEGaMingPS3]

Alchoholic right? wondering cuzz this person doesn't sound 21 oops just remembered theres not much of a drinking age in other country's correct?

[ebon123]

well that were more than 2-3 ounce of cold water

[232323C]

it's STIR not SHAKE

[kevinolis]

DOES IT HAS TO BE "BOHEMIAN ABSINTHE in order to light it up??

[usernameis770]

Thats how they do it in the 'From Hell' movie
