Opinion on replacing Pernod with Absynth - Tiki Drinks and Food

It makes sense since Pernod I believe was created when the company couldn't produce Absynth anymore. At any rate I brought a bottle of the green demon back with me. I would like to know who out there has tried bringing Absynth back into their recipes now that you can get it again in the states, and how the experiments worked out. By the way, the Mahiki was wicked. Never seen a Tiki bar before which had a velvet rope and a $1,500 minimum spend to get a table. Luckily I was able to sneak into the bar area before five. Drinks were awesome and the bartending staff went above and beyond. Regards, I-Tiki
