I love Absinthe. IMHO, it produces a different kind of buzz than most alcohol. Much mellower and overall better.

About a million years ago, I tasted absynthe at The Old Absynthe House in New Orleans. As I recall, I didn’t like it.

Going to NOLA later this year to show my daughter the wonderful city where my grandmother ran a small hotel. We’ll give it a try. Thanks for the reminder.

I agree with this caution. There are five hangovers in each bottle. Absinthe is to be savored in moderation and it is good. In excess it is like driving a nail into your brain.

Real Ouzo has a similar effect...like real Absinthe must be similarly hard to obtain.
