    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Based on what I see in the photo, I can see why. Pick a properly distilled absinthe, avoid those industrial ones like in your posted photo. I'm not up on what decent brands are available in your part of the World, but that blue-green swill is not anywhere near what absinthe tastes like.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Actually this one is a better reference: http://www.thujone.info/ Absinthe has been off the banned list now since 2007, the majority of U.S. distillers are making pretty fair absinthe now, and are improving steadily. The only ones propagating the myth that American & Modern absinthe is...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    No, Greendevil is a scam, selling crappy herbs to fools thinking you can macerate herbs in alcohol, and call it absinthe. Traditional Absinthe is infact being distilled in the USA, distillation is the only way to make absinthe, anyone else that tells you otherwise is a liar. Thujone is allowed...

    A Journey Through The Savoy Book

    That works if you can find an extant bottle with some contents. There are some brands out there, that are like that Famous Falcon in the Bogart movie. I know because I'm looking for a couple of these elusive brands. Then there are gems like Abbott's bitters that can't return in their...

    The Breakfast Martini

    One could in a pinch, substitute almond syrup for Orgeat. (You can usually find Orgeat syrup in a well stocked Liquor store) You do need the cream and the egg white to get the frothy base. Chuck has an excellent description on how to make one properly, here...

    The *Other* "Happy Days"

    I can dimly remember the W.C. Fields impersonator, it was one of those blink and you missed it summer shows. Too bad there was no affordable home video equipment then, I wish I could have taped Banyon, and City of Angels back in the 70s.

    Get a bottle of the Jerry Thomas "Own Decanter" Bitters, from them too. They make excellent bitters.

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    I usually have things shipped so I do not have to worry about carrying too many bottles. S.C. is one of the more reliable shippers, and they always replace missing orders, going back to the days when I first ordered absinthe from them many years ago. plus we do not have the dreaded VAT tax On...
