He sustituido las facetadas por tupis Swarovski para darle otro toque diferente y para que así brille un poquito más.
Me encanta cómo ha quedado en rojo!!! :)))))

Sophie and Jizzica's reactions to absinthe were not only not that bad, they both happily drank it for the rest of the night.
Students :p
t is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs.
It was worse than I remember it. Probably because this time it was made with real wormwood.

There’s a semi-secret absinthe-focused cocktail (“The Green Fairy”) menu that’s available upon request.
Grande Absente Mojito:
2 oz Absente
Fresh Mint Leaves
Fresh Lime
Simple Syrup
(for every drink, boil and stir 4 tsp sugar / 4 tsp water until sugar dissolves)
Soda water or seltzer
Muddle 2 lime wedges and fresh chopped mint
(muddling is when you mash the lime and mint together. you can use a wooden muddler or the back-end of a wooden spoon. muddling will release the essence from the mint and marry the lime & mint flavors.)
Add ice
add 2 oz Absente
Add splash of simple syrup
Top off with soda water or seltzer
Add a few more mint leaves for garnish
Mix and enjoy
I don't have a perforated absinthe spoon, but it's all the better, because I don't have sugar cubes either. Pour the cold water over the sugar until it's all out of the spoon. Stir if necessary.
11/12 January 2024 - our present weather!
Extreme Cold Warning 😢issued at Thu 4:39 AM Jan. 11 2024. "The latest forecast issues a bold warning for Calgary, Alberta, anticipating temperatures not seen since January 24th, 1954. Friday, 12 January 2024, is poised to become one of the coldest days in recent memory across Alberta, as models project daytime highs struggling to surpass -30°C." The Weather Network.
After a few weeks of amazing, mild winter weather and only three or four snowfalls, we had a drastic change of weather a few nights ago. Everywhere is covered in snow, with maybe 3" or 4" along the top of my fence. So thankful I have the luxury of being able to stay home. I suspect that my front door is probably frozen shut by now - and i knew my car battery was dead when I tried to auto-start it from indoors, sigh. Not that I was going anywhere. More snow tonight and the next two days. We have plunged into very cold weather. Late this evening, the temperature is -24°C (FEELS LIKE -37°C). Forecast for 12 January is -31°C (FEELS LIKE -41°C).
"A lobe of the polar vortex is on the move! Bitter, dangerously cold temperatures are set to infiltrate Alberta this week." The Weather Network.
Tonight, I am adding another five photos from my archives. If I wrote a description under a previously posted photo taken on the same day, I will add it under today's uploads.

Absinthe. 60% ABV. Made using the "Gert Strand Absinthe kit". The flavouring essence is the "55" one that provides 55mg of thujone (the active ingredient of "Wormwood").
Several months ago, KCRW's Good Food did a segment on absinthe which made me start thinking about a spring garden party to sample it. She mentioned a particular brand, which I scrawled in a Grass Stain Green Field Notes Book, and today it paid off. Browsing the miniatures at the liquor store for treasures to sample, I immediately recognized this bottle as the brand I'd noted.
