Egg nog with absinthe!

[EstimatedProphet]

WOW! It's got some serious zing to it! The egg nog does a good job of blotting out the licorice flavor too.

1. how does one get absinthe?

I heard it was illegal... but what do I know?

13. have you tried the La Fee? IMHO, it doesn't even come close to

the Verte De Fougerolles

[Bill McBlueState]

14. thanks!

But there's Bohemian absinthe and Parisian absinthe. What's the difference?

[EstimatedProphet]

21. Looks to me like it's just brand-name differences

I'd say, to find out what it's like, you'd likely be happy with either...

4. buyer's guide, and links to purchase here:

http://www.feeverte.net/guide/

I would recommend Un Emile 68 and Verte de Fougerolles 72

PM me if you need advice or absinthe reviews...I'm quite an absinthe fan.

[EstimatedProphet]

8. I have the Verte de Fougerolles

pretty tasty

[goodboy]

10. it's the best. 72?

2. I've never tried absinthe, is it yummy?

[EstimatedProphet]

5. It's really heavily licorice flavored

So, if you don't like licorice you really won't be able to stomach it. But I have to admit it goes really well with egg nog.
Good quality buzz too-kicking in right about now...

[goodboy]

9. hey est. we've discussed this before havent we? Last time we talked

I posted: I'm drinking absinthe, ask me anything...and if I'm not mistaken, you hadn't tried it yet. What did you order, where did you get it from, and how do you like it?

[EstimatedProphet]

15. I got some Verte de Fou 72

and it is quite nice. I got it from Liquers de France hereAlso, IMO it's like seeing in 3 1/2 dimensions-very weird...

[goodboy]

16. that's where I order all my absinthe from...I got an absinthe butler

for christmas...classy. It holds 4 different bottles upside down and dispenses the right amount.


I'm hoping for a set of Absinthe glasses...

[EstimatedProphet]

17. Ever try La Bleue?

Supposedly rated one of the best...

[goodboy]

18. I knew of the Suisse LaBleue, but I didn't know it was still available

As of right now, it is on its way to my house. I'll be sure to let you know how it is, and if you're near Columbus Ohio, I'll share the whole bottle with you!

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Seriously?

Dude, the Prophetess is in the Youngstown area...I might just take you up on that someday...
BTW how much did it come to with shipping?

[goodboy]

23. absolutely. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.

87 Euro.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. That's not a bad price, really.

After Christmas, and the Coronation...

[goodboy]

25. you know, the Un Emile 68 cost about that much, and the Verte

was about 90 total. What's an extra 20 bucks for a La Bleue?

[EstimatedProphet]

26. Exactly

Gonna have to save my money...

[goodboy]

6. yes, but not the kind in your photo. But it is a cool photo.

7. OH MY GOD! I have absinthe and was wondering what to do with it

And I love eggnog! :9

[EstimatedProphet]

11. TRY IT! Seriously!

2 oz in a full 12 oz cup of egg nog stirred really well, that's what I've got.
It ROCKS!

[catzies]

20. On my way to Trader Joe's. Also need juice and coffee for tomorrow

So it's not like I'm being totally debauched!

Should listen to the Smiths as I drink it? ;)

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Hey, I drank my first glass watching Moulin Rouge

so whatever floats your boat. The Green Fairy is a welcoming sort...
