paranoidandroid Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 my friend brought some back from the czech republic and after we were pretty fucking wasted he poured us each a large shot. i necked it all but my throat had other ideas and half of it i sprayed around the room. i've never tasted anything so disgusting - maybe the czech stuff sucks. good luck on your next mission.------------------==================================================he he he he ha ha - but this is no laughing matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmgreenz Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I have 4 bottles at home - the real stuff, with wormwood. straight from teh czech republic. also have the funky glasses and the slotted spoon for the sugar.I've tried to drink it with some of my friends, but they don't have much of a tolerance for the 110 proof green fairy.I haven't had enough to get the visions, but not doubt - it's strong.

gatito Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Was it green and did it taste a little minty?Did it burn hard on the way down? If so then it was the real thing. I once left about an inch in a clear plastic cup and went to the movies, when I came back, the cup was melted. ------------------I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. -BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopian77 Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 A had a couple of bottles imported from overseas. Mary Mayans and Swiss Le Bleue. If they were the watered down version I don't think I could handle the real thing. We were feeling pretty good after a couple of shots but then we smoked a little and everything went crazy. It was like an acid "buzz" without the tripping aspect of it all mixed with a generous portion of paranoia and stoned out happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopian77 Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 I've tried the stuff from the Czech Republic and it's viscious - ultra rough going down. Try some other brands - the ones from Spain are my personal favorite - they're a lot smoother. Did you do the shots straight or go therough the whole sugar cube/water ritual?

utopian77 Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 moonshine? You can make a pseudo-absinthe by distilling wormwood but it's definitely not the best thing for you health wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 absinthe is fucking great!!!Yeah you need the stuff with a high proportion of Wormwood in it.It's not Illegal in the US but is Illegal to sell as it is treated as a drug. But you can import it, there are a few site on the net. The good stuff is about $60 a bottle. We ordered 4 bottles between a few people and it worked out cheaper.Did you do it by caramelizing sugar etc?------------------I want to go out blazing not fade away.I can resist anything but temptation.

utopian77 Posted September 21 Author Report Share Posted September 21 Yeah we used the spoon and the sugar cube like good ol' Ernest Hemmingway. I went through four or five shots worth in a sitting -from what I've read three is usually enough but I'm on the big end of the scale so a little more worked better for me. The taste isn't bad at all - kinda like an anisette flavored whiskey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmgreenz Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I have the Sebor Absinth, which is pretty good. Tastes like Sambuca, which is like licorice. That's scary about melting the cup. Why leave it in a cup when you can use it to melt your brain?too bad they don't serve it up in the bars here. . .we'd have a grand ol' time if they did.

mrblonde55 Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Yeah the Sebor is the OG shit, Im prteey sure your supposed to mix it with quite a bit of sugar and ice, not drink it from the bottle, lol. Ive had it once at a friends house and it def is worth the $60 investement. A quite different experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
