HOWTO: The Most Perfect Absinthe Cocktail Ever

[ehowton]

2:16 3-part video

mr_dowg and I have perfected our absinthe-drinking evenings with this substantial new recipe I invented quite by mistake. Unlike a 'Fairy Bomb' which is absinthe mixed with an energy drink, we save ourselves that silly dilution and make your standard Hemingway-named Death in the Afternoon by mixing the absinthe directly with spumante. However, on our first drink, and first drink only, we add a secret ingredient revealed only in the video - it jumpstarts your entire body, takes the bite out of that first cocktail, and creates that otherworldly color your used to seeing on the silver screen.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I read that as "Mana from Heaven". I obviously play too many videogames.

That's really kind of funny seeing how they're so closely related, yet one invisible force demands that the other invisible force is "evil." Come to think of it, I'm almost positive it is the same thing, but Christianity put a spin on one, pulling it from paganism like they did Easter and Christmas and labeling the other diametrally opposite. I mean, that's what Christianity does, and this follows suit perfectly.

Good call!

That must have been an excellent cocktail.

"Wow!"

You tease!

I guess it's too early to put brandy in my tea. Alas.
