I recently had the opportunity to make a comparison test of Lucid Absinthe against a few other popular brands of absinthe at a recent gathering of bartenders in the city that I live in. To be honest, I was a little skeptical to begin with, because I had already read some reviews that had in fact rated it rather poorly for containing alcohol that was derived from fermented sugar beets for one thing.

Lucid Absinthe Superieure happens to be the first wormwood derived, authentic, legally imported absinthe to make its market debut in 95 years and I recently had a chance to compare it against others I have tried over the years. To start with, I found the bottle to be very attractive and interesting to look at with its two green glowing eyes that seemed to look out at me.

With so many people taking a closer look at absinthe and considering sending off for their first try of this mysterious tonic, many are wondering about a few things such as its reputed “bitter” taste. They are also wondering about the effects of absinthe due to the fact that it contains thujone a psychoactive “ingredient”.

Along with all of the other things that the internet has brought to the shopping world, comes the new arrival absinthe. Absinthe is not actually a new arrival its just that it is illegal for stores to sell it in the U.S. And Canada, so it has been difficult to find in the past. It is however perfectly legal to import, posses and drink and if the law sounds irrational to you, don't worry, because there are other laws on the books that are worse then that.

Absinthe has been around for centuries but it was only after the fall of the Iron Curtain that the world was introduced to absinthe from the Czech Republic which tends to be the source of the most potent types. No other type of liquor has drawn the attention of the curious to the degree that absinthe has and this is for a good reason. by Charise Frasier

Ever since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the dissolution of the Soviet Union more and more people are adding highly potent Czech absinthe to their liquor cupboard.

Its a funny thing, because the first time I ever heard of absinthe was in college during my experimentation days. It was then that I learned that there was something in absinthe that would supposedly have some sort of psychoactive effect but there was one daunting problem and that was that I couldn't get my hands on a bottle to give it a try. by Charise Frasier

No doubt you have already heard of absinthe and it has most likely piqued your curiosity. Mom and dad sure as hell didn't drink absinthe, so what is it all about anyway? The real scoop on Absinthe is that it was aboriginally made and sold as a health tonic, which accounts for its odd bitter licorice taste and its green color. by Charise Frasier

Of all the alcoholic beverages that are available to be bought online only absinthe has any appreciable level of mystique. Its a fact that Mary Shelly wrote most all of “Frankenstein” between sips of the curious liquor. The truth of the matter, is that the fact that Frankenstein was written by a woman is far more understandable once it is known that she was drinking Absinthe when she wrote it. by Charise Frasier

One of the many questions that pops up from time to time is if absenthe has often been referred to as the green “fairy” in the past is it OK for real men to drink it. The fact of the matter is that real men have been drinking absinthe for hundreds of years without ever experiencing any drop in their testosterone levels. In fact research has suggested that the term “ green fairy” was derived from the fact that absinthe has been known to have been used as an aphrodisiac. by Charise Frasier

When it comes to the actual drinking of absinthe one thing that you will find is that it isn't even mentioned in any cocktail recipe books. You can find a few drink recipes online but they are just recipes that people have recently arrived at through experimentation. There is a traditional method of drinking absinthe that involves the drizzling of cold water over a cube of sugar that is contained in a spoon suspended over a small glass of absinthe. by Charise Frasier

Welcome to the world of crazy laws if you are considering buying absinthe online and having it shipped top you. The fact if the mater is that it is 100% legal for you to buy and drink absinthe and to provide it for your friends as well, so order up and drink up all that you want. But wait a minute!! Isn't it illegal and thats why it can't be purchased at the local liquor store??Yes it is illegal for the liquor store to sell it but that is all. by Charise Frasier

After some experimenting during my college years in the eighties, I have completely given up on on everything save for a cocktail now and again with my wife in the evenings. She has never so much as tried a puff of pot, so between the two of us we figured that we would never be able to make absinthe a part of out evening cocktail hour. by Charise Frasier

After hearing that there was a new brand of absinthe that was actually cleared for sale in the U.S. I was determined to give it a try. I had read a few reviews on the net that only left me confused and wanting to try it myself. For some reason, most of the reviews seemed to focus exclusively on the fact that Lucid Absinthe contains alcohol that is distilled from fermented sugar beets. by Will Kalif

Wine, like coffee, is a beverage that somehow inspires romantic tinge. Not "romantic" in the relational sense, but in that intimate, humane way that brings about affection in the queerest of inanimate objects. Down throughout the ages, wine has inspired all sorts of feelings, touching both culture and lifestyle. At least among those who know how to appreciate it, wine, my dear, is no ordinary drink; Least of all should it be approached ordinarily. by Rahul Rungta

Corn, rice, rye, oats, barley, and wheat are all adjuncts used in brewing beer to produce fuller and clearer beers with increased body. by Gregory McLaw

Homebrewing refers to the making of beer or similar alcoholic beverages for personal consumption, free distribution at social gatherings, amateur brewing competitions or other non-commercial reasons. The main thing needed to homebrew is patience. The brewing process, depending on the style of beer, can take anywhere from two weeks to several months or even years. Most homebrewers typically brew in batches of 5 gallons but there are some enthusiasts that brew beer in far larger quantities than the typical 5 gallon batch. When you get hooked on homebrewing you will probably find that several batches in different stages of completion are necessary to ensure a ready supply. by Gregory McLaw

In order to begin brewing your own beer at home you will first need to have a taste for good beer. If you enjoy drinking Bud, Coors or Miller ad nausea you probably won't care much for homebrew. However, if you have already acquired a taste for a variety of micro-brews and enjoy trying new and different beers then you are a prime candidate for brewing your own beer. by Gregory McLaw

The homebrewer has two types of yeast to choose from; liquid yeasts or dry yeasts. For some this argument is similar to a "taste-great less filling" debate or "Ford versus Chevy" discussion. Good beer can be made from both dry and liquid yeast and both have their advantages and disadvantages. While many homebrew enthusiast claim that dry yeasts are poor fermenters and can produce undesired flavors since they are not as pure a culture as a liquid yeast others favor the convenience and lower cost that dry yeast offers. by Gregory McLaw
[ 2007-10-27 ]
It's been nearly a month and you've waited patiently for your latest batch of homebrewed beer. The time has come and you open a bottle or pull the tap and begin to fill a glass of what you hope will be your next favorite beer (generally speaking my favorite beer is usually the one I'm drinking at the moment). The taste is great but the beer is hazy and not very clear. You know it taste good but it's hard to convince your friends, who are used to buying and drinking sparkling clear beer, that the cloudy haze is alright to drink and really doesn't affect the taste. |
