Whoah! Why you wanna go down that path? Don't play with the green fairy juice, just get your keyster stoned and don't pour it on no ice cream or flambe anything. Besides, it's very bitter and would probably make anything taste pretty awful.

I hope you have better luck with it than I have had. I found a bottle at a local liquor store but I didn't get any noticable psychotropic effects. Since absinthe is technically illegal to sell in the US I figgered that this might've been a non-wormwood version. I mail ordered a kit to make my own absinthe (absinthe is illegal to sell in the US but not illegal to make (non-distilling method) or imbibe) with wormwood and all the other ingredients. No luck. Just got the same buzz I would've gotten from any 151 proof grain alcohol (the recommended 199 proof is not available in Florida). No green fairies. :( Maybe I should've snorted it. I might try making another bottle someday.

You probably have the real deal stuff. Enjoy it. Have you had it before? Let us know what you think of it.
