ABSINTHE - what to put with it

[SPARKLER1]

I brought dh some Absinthe back from Magaluf. It's is really strong stuff. Just wondered if anyone has had it and what you could use as a mixer with it?
TIA

[Fio2]

i think you drink it neat

[noddyholder]

nothing but have astretcher on stand by!

When DH first tried it, he swears he saw pixies coming out of the wallpaper.

I didn't.

Isn't having absinthe with a mixer rather defeating the object?

'A lighter fuel and tonic for me please, barman. With ice and a slice.'

[SPARKLER1]

We have been drinking it on it's own but I could barely breathe after one sip. Something has got to go in it otherwise it's going to last us 20 years!

absinthe...... goes into dream state

[lunarx]

somebody told me once some apple juice and ice went well with it, but i've never tried it!!

[snafu]

Laudanum and a slim volume of bad verse?

[WideWebWitch]

ha ha Snafu! I once drank a glass and was immediately so terrified I'd hallucinate that I drank about a litre of water as a chaser to try to dilute it. Err, pointless!

I thought that the stuff they make now doesn't have the wormwood in it,which is the hallucinogenic ingredient? I've got a lovely antique absinthe glass and a special silver spoon with holes in it to burn the sugar on. Very pretty.
