I received a lovely absinthe set for my birthday back in December. I know that traditionally you aren't supposed to light the sugar cube on fire, but sometimes you just want a little spectacle. This time the sugar cube broke apart and fell through the absinthe spoon whilst still on fire, setting the entire glass ablaze. Not a bad effect, there.

La verdad es que es el modelo para los pendientes, pero queda maravillosamente bien como gargantilla y colgante pequeñito. Las facetadas de 4 y 6 mm son de Beads Perles Boutique.

Oh, and that's not actually absinthe... I'm still saving that for a special occasion. It's just creme de menthe with a little water.
Marcel and James remembering an earlier 'infrathin' adventure. There was drink involved (as if).

4 of 365/2 - Last night I had some friends over to share cigars and absinthe (the notorious green cocktail from the Belle Epoch). You pour a shot of absinthe into a glass, place a slotted spoon over the glass with a sugar cube or two on the spoon. Then you place very cold ice-water into the fountain and allow the water to drip slowly over the sugar into the glass at a ratio of 3 or 5:1. Quite tasty if you like anise. Happy to report no one cut off their ear.
I've wanted to do some still life work and this gave me a chance to begin.
Happy 4th of July. Let's celebrate those liberties our government still allows us.

Gift from a friend. Have anyone prepared Absinthe before? I heard you are supposed to use a sugar cube and water.
