    Absinthe - Finally tried it

    Pernod Fils, was once the The standard for absinthe in the preban era, sadly their modern absinthe is just an assemblage of steam extracted essences, their pastis is just as bad. Sugar was always optional. Well made absinthe isn't really bitter, and the use of sugar came in during the latter...

    Air racing in the golden era

    I saw Roscoe Turner's Meteor at Silver Hill/Garber when they were recovering the airframe in '75, I wish I had asked for a little clipping of the old fabric. I did get to pet Stuffed Gilmore then......It's a shame his all gold Wedell Williams racer isn't next to the Meteor. Getting to go...

    You must be a little slow, time for you to lay off drinking your liter of Sobieski.

    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Vermouth can be wonderful, when one has the palate to appreciate it, it can also enhance many types of cocktails, I use it regularly and love it. As has been pointed out, one has to keep a fresh bottle on hand to get the most out of it, and that goes for other spirits that can go bad after time...

    I believe some witnesses reported seeing wing flutter on the Z just before the wing broke.

    Air racing in the golden era

    I think the model R Gee Bee's reputation was due to the other pilots not handling the aircraft properly, the way Jimmy Doolittle had. The Cecil Allen R-1/R-2 hybrid was not even allowed to carry the Granville Bros. logo and name after it was rebuilt without the Granville Bros. sanction. The Gee...

    Absinthe - Finally tried it

    The main psychoactive component in absinthe is ethyl alcohol. Look at the post above yours, there are two links that should answer your question.

    Absinthe - Finally tried it

    Absinthe was never illegal in the USA, from 1912, to early 2007, it was banned from sale by an FDA ruling based on junk science. Modern analysis of absinthe (both vintage and modern) has shown nothing harmful in it's make up. Other than the dreadful tasting swill made in the Czech Republic...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I wish I could get a half gallon for here. Here's one I had at the same seminar: THE CURARI COCKTAIL (by Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh) 2 ounces rye whiskey 3/4 ounce ruby port 3/4 ounce Amaro Cora 2 dashes Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6 Combine in a mixing glass with...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    They will never accept that she most likely went down in the water, and the wreckage sank. Doubtful that you find much at the bottom of the sea. Paul Mantz was probably the most accurate about what may have happened.

    Absinthe - Finally tried it

    Given your location, you should be able to do better than Mansinthe. Shouldn't you have Delaware Phoenix on the shelves in NY? Good Arak can be remarkably similar to some Le Bleues. I wonder how often before 2005, some of the clandestine Swiss stuff was cut with Arak. I haven't used sugar in...
