I think I passed out shortly after that last post. And, yes, eating anything at 2 in the morning isn't exactly healthy. But alcohol+dro=one hungry motherf***er.
April 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) Had some legit absinthe last night, and found out a ton of interesting info about it from my buddies dad, who is a huge enthusiast. I love the history and the wormwood lore surrounding the stuff, I love the louche (cloudiness) when water is added, but it remains a less than favorite drink for me. I can do it the traditional way with the sugar cube and cut 4- or 5-to-1 with water, but any other way and it's just too much overpowering anise flavor for me – like somebody just force-fed me a case of Good N' Plentys.

Yeah, at $45 a bottle, getting the Zacapa as a gift is much preferable to buying it. My birthday is coming up, by the way, in case teh SoxTalk community at large is wondering what to get me.

A properly louched absinthe is incredible.

Ouzo, Pernod, Herbsaint I think, and some other anise liqueurs will louche with water as well - there's some pretty neat chemistry going on there for sure. The wormwood as hallucinogen and/or or destroyer of Victorian-Age gentlemen was always overblown to mythical proportions, but damn, between the slotted spoon and the dissolving the sugar with cold water poured from a specialty decanter, etc., it's definitely a ritualized preparation on par with something you'd expect from an opium den.

My friend's father is a member of this giant absinthe loving organization and he came by last week and we enjoyed a few drinks. He explained to me the process of the louche and what exactly it does. The gist is of it is that the louche process separates the oils in the absinthe, which is where all the potent stuff is. The green fairy is non-existent, but the good stuff does have you tweak out.
