  • @libellule70

    Very true.

  • it's not bad and funny but not "typical" ! :

    1. nop put absinthe on sugar : absinthe before and sugar after

    2. Where is the typical glass of absinthe ???

    (sorry for my english)

    il est ou le verre à absinthe si particulier avec son "réservoir" ?? non mais oohh !^^

  • Funny how I was drinking absinthe in the 1960s and since and no one ever knew what it was and suddenly all this steampunk trend crap comes along and you have these overnight Victorians who otherwise would know nothing about any of this had the trend sprouted. Disposable culture for most, so sad.

  • the sugar is dissolving, not melting

    big difference

  • nice using a F.guy spoon for the french ritual

  • Did he just say the words "Le Tourment Vert" AFTER the words 'Fine French Absinthe??"

  • more importantly: never drink Le Tourment Vert.

    If your curious, you might want to start with Lucid.

    Le Tourment Vert is god awful.

  • Just one thing, very important :

    Never poor the absinthe over the sugar!

    Put the absinthe in your glass, then put the spoon and the sugar over the glass and add icy water, very slowly on the sugar, drop by drop, until the sugar is totally melted.

    Continue adding water to obtain the correct "louche".

    Using an absinthe fountain is much better to regulate the water flow.

  • Actually, the reason Abinsthe became the drink of the masses was because the wine production came to a halt due to a massive bug infestation. The wine production wasnt back on it's feet until the farmers got new plants from america, and by then, Absinthe had became the drink of the people
