Oh yes, that’s how we wrapped up our week on Friday afternoon.
Hopefully my partners aren’t reading this because two of them are sober and the third would likely not condone getting buzzed on absinthe at work. I say buzzed because we put a nice one on … but it didn’t get out of control. I have few nicknames and alteregos, one of which is “Captain Absinthe” that was coined after a rollicking New Years Eve ’09. Captain Absinthe did not come out to play on Friday. But, we certainly had a good time.
Absinthe is legal, fun and some seriously strong shit. Here’s how I pour mine:
1. Pour absinthe over a sugar cube.
2. Light the cube and let it burn for 10 seconds or until your inner pyro is satisfied.
3. Slowly drizzle ice water over the cube. Use about 3x as much water as absinthe.
4. Imbibe.
I need to try that. I’ve read the stories about absinthe before, and I’m intrigued.
