The only ones who drank it straight and gave it fame were a group of hare-brained self-destructive artistic poseurs,otherwise it is always used as a mixer to add it's unique flavor to cocktails,but pure,unadulterated absinthe is quite uncommon,what they purport to vend as absinthe now simply has essense or wormwood for the taste,the real stuff's illegal

BE VERY CAREFUL!
