During my first year of university, I had a bottle of absinthe that was almost entirely a party piece (I wasn't a big drinker at all). It came in a fancy bottle, and everyone enjoyed showing it to their friends for exactly the reasons to you mentioned, as well as to enjoy their colourful reactions to the taste. This bottle lived on a table along with the rest of the flat's alcohol, and one fateful night, while a party was in full swing I saw a very drunk girl pick up the bottle and uncork it. Being far too drunk to realise what it was, or notice the taste, she downed a good third of the bottle before I was able to reach her and wrestle it away from her. She managed to make it five steps before collapsing, vomiting and passing out, spectacularly hitting her head on the way down. I got rid of the bottle of absinthe very soon after that. Some powers were not meant for mortal men to meddle with, and the stupidity of drunks should never be underestimated XD

I second this. Czech Absinthe is nothing like the french, swiss (or even good german) stuff. It´s sweet and always has anise in it. "Real" Absinthe should have no sugar added to it - it´s actually a bitter - and it doesnt need to have anise (thats why some Absithes don´t get cloudy when you add cold water). You guys should really try a Pontarlier. @mariusdire is definitely right about this! And the swiss "la bleue"? Nothing for starters imho but if you are into Absinthe get one.

There are literally hundreds of different Absinthe recipes. Even if you stick to a single, strict recipe, different batches will vary in flavor, strength and color (as with any liqueur) depending on the weather, the growing seasons for the herbs, and even how long it's been in the bottle. It's as varied as wine, basically.

What would happen if you mixed malört (wormwood spirit), sambuca (anise liquor), and some finocchietto digestif (fennel liqueur)? Would you get a decent absinthe facsimile, or swill?

Never believe those who say that absinthe must be diluted. The sensation of pure absinthe is one of the greatest feelings there are. The rich smell, the sharp taste, the unparalleled WARMTH coming down your throat and settling down in your stomach. And then the aftertaste kicks in, and it feels like being a small child being tucked in a warm bed. Just drink it cold in shots. Rinse with water in a couple minutes, if the stuff is on the bitter side. But don't go any fancier, you'll miss the journey.

Very good video. I absolutely agree that presentation of a spirit contributes to its overall experience. I believe that some of the mythology surrounding absinthe is a little founded in science. Your body absorbs water and glucose (sugar water "loosh") almost instantly, these are binded with the alcohol which can contribute to an instant drunk effect! At least that's how it was explained to me... More of the presentation probably.

@Ezox2408

5 жыл бұрын

not really.... but yes your body absorbs the glucose rather quickly, and then the alcohol only takes a little longer than that. so the combination of a rise in blood sugar levels and a rise in blood alcohol content could help create this 'instant drunk' effect, but there are no protein pumps for both sugar and alcohol, and glucose is a fairly neutral molecule so wouldn't react with a stable one such as alcohol.

You three guys make me smile. :)

Pastis is not Absinth but both contain anise. Original Absinth (from the french jura mountains) is a very complex beverage in terms of ingredients and production. Its just that many producers use cheaper ingredients and alcohol to jump on that fashion for profit. Likewise it is not a "cocktail" for ordinary bars but requires a certain atmosphere/mood to experience its nature and complexity.

No offense to the makers of this video, but, I am with you 100%. I've been enjoying absinthe for several years. I'm no expert, but, sadly, this video should never have been made. I suppose the makers were just having a bit of fun. They completely miss the effects of Thujone. Even after several years, I've never had more than two absinthes in one evening, so I really don't know the effects of overindulging, and I am not interested in finding out. The effects of a moderate amount are actually quite subtle, but very different from other drinks. In fact, I find that the effects are overwhelmed if I drink some other alcoholic beverage, either before or after. Absinthe does put a person in a contemplative mood, and makes for very interesting conversation. The Thujone acts on GABA receptors. I think the burning of the sugar cube was mainly practiced in areas near the Czech Republic and has been observed to a limited extent elsewhere. The only Bohemian absinthe that I've had was Mata Hari, which tastes more like Compari than the French absinthes I've had, so maybe burning the cube works better with that flavor profile. I don't add sugar at all. For people who really want to know more about absinthe, check out a video called "History of Absinthe." You will understand a lot more than you got from this video.

Alright buddy. Traditional absinthe is not consumed with a ignited sugar cube. That is a Czech Republic thing. In French and Swiss service you use one of these , an Absinthe Fountain, * www.frontgate.com/traditional-absinthe-collection/1198711?listIndex=0&offers_sku=162407&SourceCode=ZZ51120&intlShippingCtx=US%7CUSD&CATARGETID=120245420002086760&cadevice=m&gclid=CjwKCAiAiuTfBRAaEiwA4itUqMPUDpQvqTbrOQenycHpR0g2vy4jytThW9V-1udQ0OqJ_iRePIY2PxoCcv4QAvD_BwE * And slowly drip water on top of a sugar cube to help take the bitterness from the absinthe down and to also dilute it. Or you can just drink the absinthe straight up, or just dilute without any sugar cube if you like the bitterness. I’ve worked at a bar in Austin that does Absinthe service and has a decent selection of imported Absinthe. Idk what the man said that wasn’t true about Absinthe?

Absinthe is my drink of choice when I go out. Surprisingly its really good with a splash of orange juice, especially Pernod; no sugar cube needed. Give it a shot.

It was used to make bathtub laudanum more palatable and that is why peeps were tripping balls and it was made illegal. And, in case you're wondering why absinthe specifically was used, it was because of its very very strong anise (among others) flavor that worked very effectively to mask the putrid flavor of the black market laudanum. And yes, that stuff was taken orally, nobody was mainlining it in the 1800.

Sidhe I had always heard it was grape farmers/wine makers who lobbied to outlaw it. The story goes there was a blight one year that lead to super low yields and thus higher prices for wine. The poorer wine drinkers couldn't afford it so they went to absinthe which was already somewhat popular amongst certain artsy groups, but when grape harvests returned to normal, they didn't go back to purchasing wine. In an effort to get their customers back, wine makers started a smear campaign against absinthe and had it made it illegal. Quite similar to the Hearst story about making cannabis illegal.

DanroccAnimated what??????

Murphy is very adult and handles himself while Brian always acts like a kid 😂

We all know that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

12:13 - Subtitles on reveals [Brian laughing]... And such a fine piratey, absinthe soaked, laugh it is!!! Arrrrhh And one of the best Modern Rogue double entendres ever follows soon after where Brian does an about turn and leaves with his drink to go chat with Santa!

Y doesn't Jason drink anymore? He used to drink the drinks with brian but I cant remember the last time I saw him share these drinks with Brian

Well, in this case it's because of the licorice flavor, which is one of those things that if you hate it, you *fucking HATE* it.

@@thelocus9104 I think in one of the previous alcohol videos, maybe the one with the mead? He's not been drinking for awhile and sometimes it's been pointed out like "oh, yeah, you don't drink anymore, right"

When you watch the ad for extra modern rogue content but you dont like the actual product.

Okay, super fucking late here, but your intro here literally PREDICTED the rise of NFTS. You could actually sell that five dollar gif.

This video encompasses everything great about the modern rogue.

It doesn’t get cloudy because of the sugar it’s bc of the water, the water should be ice cold, never burn your sugar unless you want to ruin the absinthe, it can be 3-5 parts water and sugar isn’t required.

It gets cloudy from the water mixing with the oils dissolved in the alcohol. Ouzo (and several others) does the same thing.

his absinth was ruined when he started not using absinth. He uses pastis in the video

If you want to hallucinate you have to use a different kind of sugar cube. ; )

When I was in middle school, I remember I found some nudie mags from the 90s in the bathroom at my grandma's house (my uncle lived with them, and it was the bathroom closest to his room), and one of them had an article about absinthe. It talked about how the writer went and found some dudes who had bootleg or illegally imported absinthe or something, and how it made him all crazy for a day and he woke up with a hangover so bad he couldn't see out of one eye.
