Martinis spiked with Absinthe |
|
Yeah, I know, the anise might be distracting
But in the end, you will be living up to the vermouth's dream
Vermouth is a bastardization of the word "Wormwood," which, of course, we know is an ingredient of Absinthe
Until we can have Wormwood Vermouth in our Martinis, we must add a dash of Absinthe
The Occidental Hotel in SF would be proud

3. Aren't infusions legal in CA now? |

Wormwood vermouth would be a natural.

He had a bottle of Absinthe.
Absinthe is the devil.

8. One must respect the green fairy |
|
Yes, she will lead you into temptation, but she will do so with you going along willingly, sinfully and singing...

13. While I like the flavor of anise in moderation, |
|
I have never figured out how all those artists drank it to excess. They must not have had taste buds left by the time they started seeing/hearing things...
Many, many years ago, I got to taste the real thing, illegal Absinthe smuggled into the country by a friend that got to visit Amsterdam (I think that's where he got it), along with a friend of his that stole a half-full bottle of NO2 (nitrous, aka, laughing gas.) Now that was a party! :7
