Usually it's downed in one, followed swiftly with a beer chaser! I actually quite like the aniseed drinks like ouzo & pernod on a hot day, but absinthe is just too brutal to enjoy as a taste experience. The few times I've had with it have been pretty good, though I'd advise you to try the absinthe early on in your evening of drinking. The temptation to go onto absinthe while already tipsy should really be avoided at all costs unless you want to miss the following day... Trader Woody
