  • 1.- You're supposed to light the sugar lump only, if the absinthe lights on fire, you need to blow it off (to avoid tainting the absinthe and the glass to heat up)

    2.- The sugar lump is not supposed to burn, when it begins to caramelize, you put immediately the water.

    So, FAIL!!! Mayor pwnage

  • This is NOT the Bohemian absinthe preparation....this is the MORON absinthe preparation.

  • @Plevell That's how I always imagined it would be. I'm not legal yet, but as soon as I'm legal, I'm jumping on the absinthe bandwagon. It just fascinates me. Everything about it. The lore, the history, the paraphernalia. Any advice?

  • @MartyredxMaiden we, who drink absinth drink it simply in 2 steps.. 1. pour into glass, 2. drink it ;) im glad i have never seen any morons ruining it with flame or sugar

  • I never drank it before either but this just looks completely impractical and silly. I hope no one actually does this. Waste waste waste.

  • i bet it was hard to wash that sticky mess off the spoon

  • @MrSunglasesatnight If you dont do it right you do

  • um no, just no.

    

  • The best way to drink the Absinthe is avoid the sugar cube and just slowly add icy water(drips)until absinthe is cloudy colour and drink it slow to enjoy the best taste in flavour.Cheers

  • @MrSunglasesatnight only out of the sugar! THe Absinthe itself should not burn!!! This Vid is crap!!!!

    On my channel you can see how the preperation according to the bohemian ritual should be!! Libertine Absinthe ritual & louche effect

    is the name of my vid!!! This Video here is such crap!!!

  • U actually burn all of alcohol out...

  • The Bohemian ritual is for pretentious fools.
