Absinthe Cocktail

absinthe cocktail, green fairy, natural warmwood and liquor industry

Absinthe is the most mythical of all drinks. It tastes better every time one drinks it. It has a taste like mild Pernod with a hint of wormwood. The pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste is easily remembered. Absinthe was the favorite drink of Picasso, Oscar Wilde, Vincent van Gogh, Gaugin, and Cezanne. It was the drink of many world leaders and other famous people. Among others, General P.G.T Beauregard sometimes relaxed over a drink of the green fairy.

Famous Absinthe Poetry

Glenn MacDonough

I will free you first from burning thirst

That is born of a night of the bowl,

Like a sun ’twill rise through the inky skies

That so heavily hang o’er your souls.

At the first cool sip on your fevered lip

You determine to live through the day,

Life’s again worth while as with a dawining smile

You imbibe your absinthe frappé.

Charles-Pierre Baudelaire

Get Drunk!

One should always be drunk. That’s all that matters;

that’s our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time’s

horrible burden one which breaks your shoulders and bows

you down, you must get drunk without cease.

But with what?

With wine, poetry, or virtue

as you choose.

But get drunk.

And if, at some time, on steps of a palace,

in the green grass of a ditch,

in the bleak solitude of your room,

you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated,

ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock,

all that which flees,

all that which groans,

all that which rolls,

all that which sings,

all that which speaks,

ask them, what time it is;

and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock,

they will all reply:

“It is time to get drunk!

So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time,

get drunk, get drunk,

and never pause for rest!

With wine, poetry, or virtue,

as you choose!”

Even When She Walks…”

Even when she walks she seems to dance!

Her garments writhe and glisten like long snakes

obedient to the rhythm of the wands

by which a fakir wakens them to grace.

Like both the desert and the desert sky

insensible to human suffering,

and like the ocean’s endless labyrinth

she shows her body with indifference.

Precious minerals are her polished eyes,

and in her strange symbolic nature

angel and sphinx unite,

where diamonds, gold, and steel dissolve into one light,

shining forever, useless as a star,

the sterile woman’s icy majesty. Make your own absinthe with the same ingredients that we supply to the liquor industry. Mix essence, sugar, and vodka (or any neutral spirits) to create a natural absinthe. You do not have to pay US$100-$160 for a good bottle of absinthe: one that perhaps contains the same essence you will use.

Absinthe tastes so good that it was removed from the French wine industry. Using lobbying and dirty tricks, they managed to get absinthe banned in most countries throughout the world. This is why absinthe is very rare today.

The wine industry claimed that one went insane from the thujone in the absinthe. There is thujone in our natural essence, but no more than in Wormwood Vodka, Jagermeister and similar liquors. You do not go mad from drinking absinthe.
