@Chronos5618 5 лет назад

During my first year of university, I had a bottle of absinthe that was almost entirely a party piece (I wasn't a big drinker at all). It came in a fancy bottle, and everyone enjoyed showing it to their friends for exactly the reasons to you mentioned, as well as to enjoy their colourful reactions to the taste. This bottle lived on a table along with the rest of the flat's alcohol, and one fateful night, while a party was in full swing I saw a very drunk girl pick up the bottle and uncork it. Being far too drunk to realise what it was, or notice the taste, she downed a good third of the bottle before I was able to reach her and wrestle it away from her. She managed to make it five steps before collapsing, vomiting and passing out, spectacularly hitting her head on the way down. I got rid of the bottle of absinthe very soon after that. Some powers were not meant for mortal men to meddle with, and the stupidity of drunks should never be underestimated XD

Absinthe today is made in a way that virtually none of any of the potentially haucionagenic compounds in wormwood make it into the bottle.

@Shooteronly 5 лет назад

So is lighting the sugar cube on fire good or not? This guy just told me it ruins the flavour but then dilutes it with water??

@wittfox 5 лет назад

@@Shooteronly If you burn the sugar cube, you can give it a caramel, smoky flavor tint. To be honest though it does not usually break through the strong fennel and anise flavors. Also, depending on taste, a good dilution with water is about 50/50. Not to mention, you can pour the absinthe into the glass over the sugar cubes which enables them to be burned from the alcohol content before Ice cold water is added to gain the louche. It really makes very little difference in my opinion.

@Shooteronly 5 лет назад

Yeah, that was how I got to know it. Pour a bit absinthe over the sugar cube and burn it that way. Thanks. @@wittfox

@thistlenstar 5 лет назад

No offense to the makers of this video, but, I am with you 100%. I've been enjoying absinthe for several years. I'm no expert, but, sadly, this video should never have been made. I suppose the makers were just having a bit of fun. They completely miss the effects of Thujone. Even after several years, I've never had more than two absinthes in one evening, so I really don't know the effects of overindulging, and I am not interested in finding out. The effects of a moderate amount are actually quite subtle, but very different from other drinks. In fact, I find that the effects are overwhelmed if I drink some other alcoholic beverage, either before or after. Absinthe does put a person in a contemplative mood, and makes for very interesting conversation. The Thujone acts on GABA receptors. I think the burning of the sugar cube was mainly practiced in areas near the Czech Republic and has been observed to a limited extent elsewhere. The only Bohemian absinthe that I've had was Mata Hari, which tastes more like Compari than the French absinthes I've had, so maybe burning the cube works better with that flavor profile. I don't add sugar at all. For people who really want to know more about absinthe, check out a video called "History of Absinthe." You will understand a lot more than you got from this video.

@brandonofviolet 5 лет назад

Alright buddy. Traditional absinthe is not consumed with a ignited sugar cube. That is a Czech Republic thing. In French and Swiss service you use one of these , an Absinthe Fountain, * www.frontgate.com/traditional-absinthe-collection/1198711?listIndex=0&offers_sku=162407&SourceCode=ZZ51120&intlShippingCtx=US%7CUSD&CATARGETID=120245420002086760&cadevice=m&gclid=CjwKCAiAiuTfBRAaEiwA4itUqMPUDpQvqTbrOQenycHpR0g2vy4jytThW9V-1udQ0OqJ_iRePIY2PxoCcv4QAvD_BwE * And slowly drip water on top of a sugar cube to help take the bitterness from the absinthe down and to also dilute it. Or you can just drink the absinthe straight up, or just dilute without any sugar cube if you like the bitterness. I’ve worked at a bar in Austin that does Absinthe service and has a decent selection of imported Absinthe. Idk what the man said that wasn’t true about Absinthe?

Never believe those who say that absinthe must be diluted. The sensation of pure absinthe is one of the greatest feelings there are. The rich smell, the sharp taste, the unparalleled WARMTH coming down your throat and settling down in your stomach. And then the aftertaste kicks in, and it feels like being a small child being tucked in a warm bed. Just drink it cold in shots. Rinse with water in a couple minutes, if the stuff is on the bitter side. But don't go any fancier, you'll miss the journey.

@Odood19 5 лет назад

What would happen if you mixed malört (wormwood spirit), sambuca (anise liquor), and some finocchietto digestif (fennel liqueur)? Would you get a decent absinthe facsimile, or swill? I really love malört for the wormwood flavors so I'm intrigued by absinthe's holy trinity of flavors. Bitter, numbing, and reminiscent of the feeling that you want to fight your dad. MMM boy!

@LukeWalstead 3 года назад

It was used to make bathtub laudanum more palatable and that is why peeps were tripping balls and it was made illegal. And, in case you're wondering why absinthe specifically was used, it was because of its very very strong anise (among others) flavor that worked very effectively to mask the putrid flavor of the black market laudanum. And yes, that stuff was taken orally, nobody was mainlining it in the 1800.

@mariusdire 5 лет назад

Except the Czech Republic had no history of Absinthe until very recently and most of that stuff if poorly macerated. If you want absinthe that's close to the belle epoche drink I'd recommend Vieux Pontarlier, they use herbs from the Pontarlier region of France (where the best absinthe came from during the Belle Epoche) and one of the original alembic stills.

@brandonofviolet 5 лет назад

Yea. I’d definitely recommend some Swiss or French absinthe over Chech. If you are on a budget Kübler is some pretty good stuff.

@thibaultwyrsch6888 5 лет назад

Definitely! Go for swiss absinthe and please don't use a sugar cube... We usually drink it without in the region it's from. And one thing they should have done in the video is add some ice in the absinthe fountain.... Always go for nice and cold water (we used to have some bottles hidden close to the fountains for a quick absinthe in the region of Neuchatel). The Kübler is a good recommendation if you wanna go cheap but if you can, I would personnally recommend Absinthe Le Chat by Willy Bovet, which is one of my favourite

@Thryller42 5 лет назад

I second this. Czech Absinthe is nothing like the french, swiss (or even good german) stuff. It´s sweet and always has anise in it. "Real" Absinthe should have no sugar added to it - it´s actually a bitter - and it doesnt need to have anise (thats why some Absithes don´t get cloudy when you add cold water). You guys should really try a Pontarlier. @mariusdire is definitely right about this! And the swiss "la bleue"? Nothing for starters imho but if you are into Absinthe get one.

@sifuculreif6448 5 лет назад

There are literally hundreds of different Absinthe recipes. Even if you stick to a single, strict recipe, different batches will vary in flavor, strength and color (as with any liqueur) depending on the weather, the growing seasons for the herbs, and even how long it's been in the bottle. It's as varied as wine, basically.

Pastis is not Absinth but both contain anise. Original Absinth (from the french jura mountains) is a very complex beverage in terms of ingredients and production.

Likewise it is not a "cocktail" for ordinary bars but requires a certain atmosphere/mood to experience its nature and complexity.

Well, in this case it's because of the licorice flavor, which is one of those things that if you hate it, you *fucking HATE* it.

"Why did they make it illegal" Question for the ages.

@Jeshwa15 5 лет назад

Sidhe I had always heard it was grape farmers/wine makers who lobbied to outlaw it. The story goes there was a blight one year that lead to super low yields and thus higher prices for wine. The poorer wine drinkers couldn't afford it so they went to absinthe which was already somewhat popular amongst certain artsy groups, but when grape harvests returned to normal, they didn't go back to purchasing wine. In an effort to get their customers back, wine makers started a smear campaign against absinthe and had it made it illegal. Quite similar to the Hearst story about making cannabis illegal.

When I was in middle school, I remember I found some nudie mags from the 90s in the bathroom at my grandma's house (my uncle lived with them, and it was the bathroom closest to his room), and one of them had an article about absinthe. It talked about how the writer went and found some dudes who had bootleg or illegally imported absinthe or something, and how it made him all crazy for a day and he woke up with a hangover so bad he couldn't see out of one eye.

If you get a proper absinthe glass, you don't need to measure. They often come with a reservoir in the bottom, or are at least marked in some way. Just fill up the reservoir or to the line and you're good to go. Dripping water through a sugar cube is the genuine, traditional method. The method where you soak the sugar cube in absinthe and then set it on fire is an "edgy" method devised when the stuff was largely illegal, and ends up imparting a slight burnt sugar taste to the end product.

As a German, I can tell you that Wermutkraut definately has nothing to do with worms (Wurm in German). The etymology of the plant's name is not known very well, only that it comes from the western Germanic word wermod which was then adopted by the angelsaxons. It might have been misunderstood as "wormwood"

@BrandonDewater888 5 лет назад

Very good video. I absolutely agree that presentation of a spirit contributes to its overall experience. I believe that some of the mythology surrounding absinthe is a little founded in science. Your body absorbs water and glucose (sugar water "loosh") almost instantly, these are binded with the alcohol which can contribute to an instant drunk effect! At least that's how it was explained to me... More of the presentation probably.

@Ezox2408 5 лет назад

not really.... but yes your body absorbs the glucose rather quickly, and then the alcohol only takes a little longer than that. so the combination of a rise in blood sugar levels and a rise in blood alcohol content could help create this 'instant drunk' effect, but there are no protein pumps for both sugar and alcohol, and glucose is a fairly neutral molecule so wouldn't react with a stable one such as alcohol.

@TheEdward39 5 лет назад

In Hungary, we traditionally drink absinthe without the water and the sugar cube. We just pour it out into a shot glass, light the rim of the glass on fire, and then down the whole thing. It's different with different cocktails that contain absinthe, of course, for example there's a thing called White Terror, that is basically absinthe, rum and... vodka, maybe? You put the sugar cube on a teaspoon, dunk it in the alcohol, put the teaspoon on top of the glass with the soaked sugar cube on it, and light the sugar cube on fire, wait till it caramelizes then dissolve it, and down it.

It doesn’t get cloudy because of the sugar it’s bc of the water, the water should be ice cold, never burn your sugar unless you want to ruin the absinthe, it can be 3-5 parts water and sugar isn’t required.

@PhattyMo 5 лет назад

It gets cloudy from the water mixing with the oils dissolved in the alcohol. Ouzo (and several others) does the same thing.

@willemkauffeld7679 5 лет назад

@CCCSaxsonWarmonger 5 лет назад

the mild hallucinations are caused because thujone is a gaba agonist and alcohol is an antagonist so what youre doing is youre able to get the other effects of the alcohol while minimizing gaba effects and you can drink a lot more which ends with you being more awake when youre hammered. youre not hallucinating from the abisnthe but you might from the absinthe. likewise absinthe is like 85 alcohol. also copper salts are not bath salts bath salts are synthetic khat which is an african bush that contains an amphetamine analogue. likewise people also used to put other drugs primarily opium into the absinthe and people used to take nitrous while drinking laudenum and absinthe which then absolutely does result in vivid hallucinations

@monkey_breath 5 лет назад

hey guys thanks for making this video, i love the stuff too (i'm even drinking it right now, and was before i saw this video released). however, there does need to be a clarification, it's not the sugar that makes it cloudy, just cold water, it's a reaction with the ingredients, and it's known as "the louche". further adendum to that point, to serve it with water is also, to louche it. and all that being said, i'm going to keep a link to this video very handy to send to people when they freakout when i say "i'm drinking absinthe".

"You would usually use a granulated sugar cube... but we don't have time for that!" "You would use a special absinthe spoon... but I don't have use for one of those!" "Absinthe would usually _____... but I don't have any of that pomp and circumstance garbage!" Sounds like you guys need to redo the eposode with someone that specializes in absinthe, instead of bar tender that got something close from the liquor store down the road. Disappointing, honestly. Clearly Brian was excited about the ceremony surrounding it, and didn't get ANY of that. Killer let down to the build up, to be honest. Was expecting more lore-filled wisky boys experience, got bartenter bob "here's your nasty drink" instead.

@TonberryShuffle 5 лет назад

As someone who does NOT like the licorice flavor I can still say with confidence that you only need sugar in BAD absinthe. If it's a good one you don't need anything but the ice water to get yourself a really awesome drink. That's also coincidentally where the sugar ritual came from (as google tells me) because of how poor quality and regulations were at the time.
