Have anyone of your tried Absinthe?

Know where we can buy real absinthe here in the Philippines?

 

This drink was banned before in US, Europe and a lot of places.

They are said to cause halocination :)

 

Here is a webpage for those who are not familiar with this drink

robinson's supermarkets usually have a stock of absinth.

meron sa galleria. punta lang kayo sa wine and liquor section. tanong nyo dun.

 

i think the better drink is Bacardi 151. absinth is only 120 proof while the 151 is 151 proof.

so 60% alcohol lang yung absinth. yung 151 naman (75.5%), mas mabisa pa sa rubbing alcohol (70%)sa pagtanggal ng mikrobyo sa katawan. hehehe! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

i just don't know where to get the 151 though. it's banned here in the philippines. :thumbsdownsmiley:

You can buy it here - try at the Liquer Store in Landmark Makati. I think a bottle is around pesos 1,500.00.

 

Probably won't hullicinate anymore cause the brands they sell commercially nowdays don't contain all of the herbs that were used in the original recipes.

 

The original use of the word Lush to describe alcoholics was based on heavy drinkers of this and one long term effects of drinking the original recipes was thought to be madness / hullicinations hence the reason it was banned.

 

Still a good drink to get messed up on though - just don't actually see the little green fairy but as Fortyounce said usually everything just goes black :thumbsupsmiley:

 

You burn sugar into it and add a bit of water to make it taste better...

There's a good liquor store in Hobbies of Asia along Macapagal that sells absinthe for a reasonable price. (Ithink i got it for 1k ata). most of their liquors are actually reasonably priced and very cheap compared to bigger stores or groceries. I suggest you guys should buy from them kasi medyo mahina yung place nila. if wala bumibili, they might close down soon. sayang naman. they're the cheapest store i know to get my stash! :))

 

think 1 liter of Cuervo for 650-700. (sold at 7-11 for 1400 i think)

750 ml for 480. (7-11 price is 1000).

 

 

i like absinthe. although if i drink it too warm and without sugar, it makes me gag.
