Thread: Absinthe- The perfect drink for Straight Razor users

Another good Absinthe that I have found in from Leopold bothers distillery in colorado. It is a little sweater then traditional french stuff but still very good. Absinthe Verte

Anybody tried the St. George Verte yet? Been really curious about it.

An up-scale bar near where I used to live had some Absenthe and I tried it there, but was not taken with the taste. I prefer Pernod instead.

Stock up on styptic sticks!!

I was at our Costco last week and snapped a pic of the "Absente" they offered--blue and white box, large VanGogh picture, comes with a spoon, 750ml... only 37.99... (I don't know how to easily transfer pic from dumb phone to here--oh well.) This Absente had an added colorant, so I will pass, but still a good deal IMO.

Moulin Vert is excellent, highly recommended.

I'm working on a bottle of Lucid right now, which I like a lot, from my limited exposure to absinthe. I really want to try Vieux Carre, especially since it's local.

If any one is near Boulder CO there is a bar there that stocks around 10 to 15 different kind's of absinthe. It is a little pricy to go and make a night out of but it is a great way to sample the many different types and find one that u like.

After a long day I'm curling up with the green fairy......

Now there is a tonic I had trouble enjoying. The only way I could enjoy it was by making a stop light, 1 part cranberry juice, 1 part orange juice and 1 part absinthe all in a shot glass.

Here is the bottle I purchased several years ago.
