    Negative Reactions?

    Tell 'em you prefer Cleburne's. Only the Houston people will understand.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    It's not bad, Vermouth is long been consumed as a stand alone aperitif. If you have access to a liquor store that carries Carpano Antica sweet Vermouth, give that one a try.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Testing this one from 1944, for Tales of the Cocktail. I tried one variation with Peychauds bitters, it turned out quite nice.

    Interview with Vintage Man

    I think I'd pass on using the tooth powder, it reminds me too much of scouring cleanser. I have a vintage tin of the stuff, but it's just for display.

    The Martini

    You'd use it like cocktail bitters, just a dash, or you could rinse your martini glass like these vintage instructions from 1937:

    The Martini

    A dash of absinthe in a Martini was not that unusual. You can even see it on Jeeves and Wooster. It's more likely FDR used one of the American substitutes such as Legendre Herbsaint, or Jung & Wulff's Milky-Way, Abson, Green Opal, and so on.. back in the day they were more readily available.

    What turns you on

    A P-38 Lightning winding up those turbos, though I've often wondered what a pair of Merlin engines on a P-38 would have sounded like. A nice Sazerac, or a glass of 1930s or 1940s Herbsaint works too. ;) and if Kate Bush was there to share a glass....

    Cicada club details

    That's actually not a bad price, some bars are charging $20.00 for an absinthe cocktail.

    Lindberg jacket, what type ?

    I don't remember if it was the French aviators, or some other group gave Lindbergh the leather jacket, since he carried no other clothing except what he wore on the New York to Paris flight. Lindbergh even trimmed the margins on his maps to save weight on the flight.

    Lindberg jacket, what type ?

    I believe Lindbergh got the jacket after making it to Paris, during the short time he was across the Atlantic, before "he found a Battleship was waiting for him".

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    A flapper?.....No, more like an opportunist with a publicist.

    Jeeves and Wooster

    They are both out on DVD now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O78KZ6/imdb-adbox/ The bad news is they don't hold a candle to the BBC Jeeves & Wooster, and don't even come close to the books.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    No hallucinations, that is a myth. You drink ten or twenty glasses of any booze, like Verlaine, or Wilde, and you'll see things too. :p Undiluted, absinthe is indeed a high proof spirit absinthe. The high proof is necessary to preserve herbal content. When one dilutes a shot of absinthe in a...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Knowing what is in Mari Mayans, (and there isn't much there) anything you would have seen would have been from the alcohol, not from it's very minimal herbal content. They really shouldn't let them even call that brand absinthe, since it's little more than a Star Anise bomb. which isn't much...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    So tell all me all about this "true absinthe"? I'd like to know the brand.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Really? You might want to read this thread from the beginning.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Considering Mari Mayans contains little more than a massive dose of Star Anise oil, and a tiny amount of steam extracted herbal oil content, that would be impossible. Plus a lovely neon green artificial colorlol Other than high alcohol content, there is no psychoactive component in absinthe.
