Absinthe

A louched dose (shot) of the liquor Absinthe, between two of the plants from which it takes it's name, Artemisia Absinthium (more commonly known as Wormwood).

And yes, for the uninitiated, absinthe DOES turn milky when mixed with water; the reason being that it contains oils that are soluable in alcohol, but not in water.

Strobist: Cross-light shot. One White Lightning Ultra 1800 at about 1/30 power fired into a silver umbrella to above camera right. Opposite the WL is one Sunpak 611 at an unknown power level (the strobe malfunctioned, but I LOVED the glowing drink!) just visable at the top of the tripod in the background.
