Jade Absinthe before and after adding water 
I recommend trying this drink once. It is an acquired taste and I don’t recommend it more than once. Homemade or disreputably produced Absinthe can be deadly.
Absinthe is a drink that contains a high-level of alcohol, typically 68%. The most important ingredient of Absinthe is the herb wormwood (Artimisia Absinthium); it is what sets it apart from other drinks and is how it acquired its name. The essential oils in wormwood contain the chemical Thujone, which is a toxin when taken in large amounts. Thujone is said to be responsible for Absinthe's mysterious effects. Other ingredients include; roman wormwood, star anise, anise seed, hyssop, angelica root, calamis root, fennel, coriander, licorice root, lemon balm, dittany, and sweet flag. Absinthe is most often described as having the flavor of liquorice, with a bitter after taste.
Traditionally, Absinthe is prepared by pouring cold water over a cube of sugar resting on a slotted spoon (see photo below left). The cold water dissolves the sugar while diluting the green Absinthe. The sugar helped to mask the bitterness of the absinthium and other oils. As the cold water mixed with the absinthe, it clouds (see photo below right) to an opalescent white with a tint of green or yellow, this effect is called the, "louche", pronounced "loosh". The louche occures when the essential oils are not able to disperse in the water, therefore creating a clouding effect. The mix ratio is according to preference, usually 5 parts water to 1 part absinthe.
