There is a great documentary on the history of absinthe on hulu. I've heard so many back and forth stories about what is true and what isnt. just make sure you know where your sources of info come from.

@DarkAniseScent know and we can compare product, but until then quit talking as if you know what you're saying! Of course the drink in the video isnt real absinthe, its a close approximation of it because its a fucking kit so naturally its not going to be anything near the real thing! I may be young but my entire family has been in this bussines for 12 generations.

@DarkAniseScent actually you're wrong absinthe can be brewed or distilled, its actually better if its brewed. the reason the drink in the video isnt true absinthe is, 1) the used smirnoff which has to low of a proof to use for absinthe. and 2) the type of wormwood isnt right, it doesnt contain Thujone, the natural chemical in wormwood that produces the psychotropic effect absinthe is known for. I make 3-5 gallons of true absinthe every couple months. So if YOU ever produce true absinthe let me

You ruined a perfectly good absinthe kit. you used smirnoff, SMIRNOFF!?!? to make a decent absinthe you need to use an alcohol with at least 170 proof, most of the "true absinthe" you find uses 190 proof.

Sorry but you are wrong , first of all the absinthe which is distil is modern absinthe with out psychotropic effects the one he is showing might be with psychotropic effects at least the original absinthe was . And the reason why modern absinthe is without psychotropic is because in many countries is illigal ! but I think Amsterdam is one of few where is the real absinthe with psychotropic effects .

looks good. can i use the herbs with milk?
-
Incidently, how much does s kit like that cost?
-
Because its expensive as all hell and some of us want a good buzz but don't have a hundred dollars to shell out.



this is not absinthe....you can only distil absinthe not brew...this is just alcohol with chemical aromas...it doesn't louche at all...and if you ever prepare a glass of real absinthe forget the fire...stop putting this shit telling people it's real absinthe to sell your crap....

Don't beieve this crap, it's not the good recipe.
We don't use vodka but pure 70 or 90° alcohol from pharmacy.
Almost the same recipe as RICARD or PASTIS.
This Kit is bullshit.Only the herbs are real, you get something close to absynth but it is not the real deal.
