It was a fun experiment though! I had never had absinthe before, and Mom and Dad bought it as a new thing to try during my birthday picnic there. It didn't overly impress me, but I think mixing it with less water would help bring out the anise flavor a little more. I love sambuca and drambuie, so I think I'd love absinthe too, I just need that flavor to come out.
Fal, I tried absinthe a couple different ways since that first time, at your birthday picnic, and I liked both. One was with a shot of ab, some sprite (about 2-3 shots), some water (about a shot), 2 sugar cubes and ice. Then, last night at our roughneck joint, I ordered ab and the bartender says she always makes it with one shot ab, one shot water, one sugar cube, plus ice... ====:-O ... but Dad-e-o talked her into putting two shots of water into mine... and it was quite good. So those are my experimentations with ab since that first time we all tried it that day. And I think you're absolutely right... we used too much water when we did it! :( Oh well... live and learn. :)
