Best Way to Drink Absinthe

We know, absinthe is a very popular drink that was born on 18th century in France, since then, absinthe has been the drink of choice for literary authors, painters, writers, musicians and many other artists. The people who drink absinthe know the best way to drink absinthe and this would be in the traditional way or the Czech method. Perhaps you may create your own method to drink absinthe, I can say that the best way to drink absinthe is using special pierced spoons (original absinthe spoons), just adding cold water and sugar. But other people like to mix absinthe with brandy that makes absinthe really tasty. The best way to drink absinthe depends on the country where absinthe is being sold, in fact every country has its own method, but they do not make apart the traditional way to drink absinthe. Now at days absinthe is being used to prepare cocktail drinks and much more, like cakes and other delicious desserts and famous martinis. So, if you are looking for the best way to drink absinthe just try your own, there is no nothing to lose. Absinthe as we all know is an alcohol liquor derived from herm including the flowers and leaves of artemisa absinthium. Absinthe usually has a pale green color (emerald green) giving its nickname the green fairy, absinthe when is drank in using the traditional method is able to produce louche (an effect produced by mixing sugar with absinthe in cold water). The first thing you have to do before drinking absinthe is to get it, then prepare all the necessary stuff, afterward pour a third part of absinthe into a glass of water, then set an absinthe spoon (or a fork beside the absinthe spoon) on the top of the glass containing absinthe, then put on one or more sugar cubes on the pierced spoon rested on the rim of the glass, then begin to drip cold water onto the sugar cube(s) waiting for its dissolving, then the louche effect would be seen, and finally fill the glass with cold water and enjoy it. If you like you may try the Czech method that is very popular in the bars at almost all Europe. This method is similar to the traditional method but it is different in just one thing, because the sugar cube in the Czech method has to light on fire to be melted and caramelized. To convince you that absinthe is amazing we can tell you that people who drink absinthe usually return to do it again and often report a feeling of drunken clarity and with high levels of absinthe in their veins they report a soft sense of hallucination, when closing their eyes.
