This is how you prepare real absinthe, by soaking a sugar cube in it and then burning it into a glass. Then you add water.

This absinthe is not green, but Swiss.

We didn't indulge.

This is my absinthe collection. I managed to hold off trying it until I moved into my own place and got some photos of the bottles, so I hastily set this up last night.

Sing along with the piano man, try on some silly hats, and enjoy a drink of absinthe (three maximum) in this famous underground bar.

The Old Absinthe House is a historic building on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was built in 1806 as an importing firm, and later became a saloon in 1815. It was renamed as the Absinthe Room in 1874, when a bartender named Cayetano Ferrer invented the famous Absinthe House Frappe, a drink made with Absinthe and sugar water. The decorative marble fountains that were used to drip cool water over sugar cubes into glasses of Absinthe can still be found in this historic bar.

I had a lovely seat by the fountain to enjoy sipping absinthe.
