Hasta La Ideas

alt= //pppI’m pretty much willing to try anything once. Last night I had a few glasses of absinthe for the first time. It was a 106 proof variety, which is 53% alcohol. We had the first glass with two cubes of sugar and found that to be too sweet. The smell and taste were identical to black licorice. The following few glasses we used only one sugar cube, with a 3:1 water to absinthe mix. These had a little more bite but was more satisfying since you could feel the slight burn in your throat that alcohol should induce. And by the time glass number 4 came around I was very content sitting back while watching Sunrise Over Arches National Park, a show where nothing happens – they’ve set up a few cameras to capture the sunset. That’s it. The ritual of slowly dripping water over the sugar cube and watching as the absinthe and water cloud in the glass is somewhat entertaining. Otherwise, imbibing absinthe is no more alluring than having a good cocktail. But I am getting a late start to this Friday so I’m going to limit my posts to this recommendation./ppNext time we’ll try the Bohemian Steppe and light the sugar cubes on fire. If we don’t catch our hair on fire you guys will get a full report./ppAnyone ever tried absinthe before it was made legal in the US? Any differences? /ppHappy Friday and have a great weekend. Seeya back here on Monday. br //p/p
