Absente:
Not quite Absinthe, but rather, Absinthe refined.
Absente is a legal in America 'version' of Absinthe, the only difference being the presence of Southern Wormwood instead of Wormwood.
It's good, it's damn good. I like it.
An Absente drunk is like no other drunk. A calming and a quiet. I feel clearheaded when Absente drunk in the very same way I don't feel clearheaded in a beer drunk. I understand why it was such a popular drink for artists and writers. The world around me opened up in a very unique way that still allowed me to be me.
A quote from Absente.com:
"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second,
you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and
that is the most horrible thing in the world."
- Oscar Wilde
Absente costs around $30 (US) per bottle. $35 for a gift set with a glass and spoon.
