Has anyone ever tried real Absinthe? I'm getting a gift set for my birthday on October 30th, comes with the spoon and a cup and shit like that, along with a bottle.
Any notes on what I should expect? Does it taste horrible but get you pretty toasty?
I've had it, although it was a long while ago and I only had one drink. It's kinda bitter if I recall correctly, thus the burning sugar. It definitely didn't have the burn of other strong alcohols. If you're looking for the green fairy drink it slowly. If you get drunk you drank it too fast.
Thanks for the advice; I never knew that the ban on real Absinthe was lifted off the US in 2007, so I've been searching pretty hard for a bottle and a set up. Finally found it haha, so excited.
