I was just wondering if it's available in all pubs because my class mates and tutor are going for an end of term drink tomorrow afternoon and I thought it would provide lols if I drowned myself in Absinthe.
Until I read that apparently there's some rule where you're only allowed one shot per customer?
Anyway, I'd still like to try it and don't want to seem silly by asking for one at the bar when it's not the sort of thing normally sold... or something.
I only know that my local sells it!I usually stick to black sambuca for shots-tastes like liquorice and you can do more than one without wanting to fall over :P xx
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
Erm, I always thought absinthe could be bought anywhere, and I always thought they could serve you as much as you liked (until you're extremly drunk, obviously)
you can always get absinthe free at my house peoples lol.
Parties on me
Always knew there was a reason I wanted to visit Yorkshire

Ah, yeah I've tried Sambuca before and liked it. didn't know there were different coloured versions.
I'll go onto that if the Absinthe is too strong, which it probably will be. Do want to try it at least once though.
A friend of mine brought some of the proper stuff with the wormwood to a camp out in some woods I didn't know my way around. I drank half a bottle of the stuff, amongst other things. Don't really remember a lot else.
And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! -- Not a vegetarian
I actually quite like it..on a spoon, sugarcube, etc.
It isnt that strong thru the sugar.
And yes, its the good old wormwood that gets you.
Only one of our liquor stores sells it tho, and it is kept locked behind galss..tis vveerryyy expensive.
I have a large bottle I bought in Amsterdam :) <3
Only certain clubs sell it around here (and its vile half strength stuff as they dont filter it and it has to be below a certain amount to be sold over here)
Ive done some pretty random stuff after just 2 shots of it (and it usually takes me a fair bit to get drunk and such)
Sarah: Give me the child.
Jareth: Sarah beware. I have been generous up till now. I can be cruel.
Sarah: Generous? What have you done that's generous?
Jareth: Everything! Everything you have wanted I have done. You asked the child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
I'm liking the reviews!
Especially if it only takes two shots..
I've read about it being served with / filtered through sugar etc. I'm guessing they just serve it in a shot glass in a pub. No sugar involved. Be interesting to find out.
Don't want anyone to watch me drinking it. I make weird gurning faces after shots of vodka because of the taste, lol.
my friend came back from france with a bottle bigger than her... shes very slight and cant have 1/2 a glass of wine without falling over, so im very excited to see where she goes with this absinthe... it may be my duty to help her out :P
Yes, these are bruises from fighting. Yes, I'm comfortable with that. I am enlightened. - Narrator (Fight Club)
You can't get it in most pubs/clubs like someone suggested. You'll find less bars with it than you will without it.
If you're out and the place you're in doesn't stock it then go for Goldschlager because it's niiiice :D
