Isn’t she gorgeous?
My latest bottle of absinthe. It’s a mild, lovely recipe; it contains a bit less alcohol by volume than many other absinthes.
At a 4 parts water : 1 part Swiss La Bleue, I had to add more absinthe to tone down the sweetness of the single sugar cube I used. This could certainly be sipped without sugar at all.
I managed to muck up the louche a bit here, but normally this absinthe creates a lovely milky white beverage. Note: don’t chuck an ice cube in there if you want it to turn out right; it affects the louche in an unappealing way.

Sorry I can’t resist it………………..absinthe makes the heart grow fonder………….I lurve you I do………you’re my best mate you are………….where are you? and who are you?
Actually, DP, I heard that absinthe makes the tart’s hands wander…
What a lovely, enticing label on that bottle, jEN!
Even Harry McFry would be tempted to have a slug, although he’s currently enjoying an anis or two in Madrid.

PS That photo just earned you a Fuel from me on FMB!
Wander, fonder… both? Maybe.
Welcome Thomas! I must confess that I signed up on FMB purely due to stalking Daddy Papersurfer and Penfold. I’m so pleased you found me!
The Clandestine IS a lovely bottle – deceptive in its blue tint, but quite beautiful regardless. I hope you’ll visit my flickr page– I am endeavouring to improve my photography.
Thank you for the vote!
You temptress! I think I just fell in love with Nadia!
Kind Regards

Nadia is worth the adoration, I assure you.
