The "real absinthe" hasnt been made in like 100 years, and, its illegal in france too, but like anything that is illegal, you have to know where to find it... they do sell a "revised" version of it here in the USA which does not contain the "poison" wormwood... and while it is higher in proof, this is how you do it: strainer over a glass with a sugar cube on top, pour in the absinthe, pour an equal amount of cold water over it, watch it change from bright clear green to white/milky light green, stir in remaining part of cube, drink... its great, just don't have more than one \:\)
