I imported some french absinthe as soon as I realized it was legal again in the US in 2008.

I was so excited with the glasses , spoon and the ritual.

I couldn't even finish half a glass though. It was honestly the worst drink I can ever remember having. Just absolutely terrible. Really one of the most disappointing experiences of my life for how built up it was in my head.

I still have the glasses that are so fun to drink wine out of but I would never bother with absinthe again.

Even better if in a state with legal cannabis. Absinthe glass, cannabis lemonade and a shot or two of vodka. No green fairy placebo effect needed.
