**Kazimiera** · 03-04-2017, 06:14 PM

I've had it a number of times and each time I can't make up my mind whether it is revolting or not. It reminds me of Pernod in a way, the aniseed taste.

It tastes amazing to me.

Yes and I love it and I used to drink a lot of, even though I rarely drink it today. Actually I love the true natural one and the french ritual :

Usually I was drinking it alone or with one or two friends, discussing about politics, reading some french poems, listening to some very good music... What a sweet cliche but good memories.

I could live forever in the Moulin Rouge movie, drinking some absinthe in Montmartre, trapped in old good days.

Only the smell of absinthe is quite pleasant, unfortunately this is not allowed in France anymore. I was glad to find bars in Belgium where I could drink absinthe with friends.

I thought you were talking about the greek member with this name.
Never had this drink.

I never had the luck to try it.
I really want to try it in the good old fashion way as Ilma said, with the spoon and sugar.
I enjoy anis alcool so I'am already sure I will love it.

It is far more complexed savour than pastis, if you like pastis, anis.. imagine a combination with fennel, pepper something else depending on which absinthe you bought (several brands, productions, recipes etc). Sure you will like it

if you were living closer I would have invited you to taste one, I still have 2 different bottles here of very good quality. Never try spanish absinthe, it is the worst I have ever tasted, it is a false one very cheap. Try artisanal swiss absinthe.
