What is absinthe? Absinthe is a magical, burning and alluring green drink. Only true connoisseurs of this unusual elixir know how to enjoy it.
For those who do not understand the drink, the taste in memories remains bitter and poignant. However, they continue to drink it only in order to achieve a heady state. What secret is hidden in this divine drink?
The homeland of absinthe is distant Switzerland. At the beginning of the twentieth century, this elixir was banned due to its effect on the psyche. Absinthe is based on wormwood, which contains hallucinogenic substances, so absinthe manufacturers control the amount of toyon in it. Also, anise is a part of absinthe, which gives the drink a potent aroma and the ability to have different colors. Absinthe has 70-75 degrees and the ability of alcohol to retain essential oils. Moreover, you can not only drink absinthe, but also smoke absinthe vapor.
And yet, how to drink absinthe? There are several ways to consume absinthe. But remember, in order to taste this drink, you need to be relaxed and attuned to positive emotions. Absinthe can be drunk either pure or mixed with water or juice.
We offer you a classic way to consume the elixir. To do this, you need a glass, sugar cube and absinthe. Put a spoon with a cube of sugar on the glass, then pour a little absinthe through the sugar into the glass. After the sugar is soaked in absinthe, it must be gently set on fire. The melted sugar forms caramel, which should be dipped into the glass. Be extremely careful, as absinthe is easily flammable. Add water to this mixture, while paying attention to the change from greenish to whitish. This is due to the fact that diluted alcohol is unable to retain essential oils. After all the done procedure, you can enjoy a cocktail.
The next way to consume absinthe is that you need a glass half filled with juice. Pour a small amount of absinthe into another glass and light it, while scrolling the glass with the contents with extreme caution. This procedure is done so that the glass heats up evenly, and the vapors do not evaporate. Pour the contents of the glass into a glass with juice, and turn the empty glass over onto a napkin to retain the vapors. Then drink absinthe with juice, and inhale the vapors from an inverted glass using a straw. This cooking method is considered difficult to perform, but due to its effects it promises to get a lot of pleasure.
Try all the methods, but the main thing is not to overdo it! Enjoy your stay!
