I would like to know what the best absinthe to buy at a reasonable price..also allowing me to enjoy the green fairy effect?. I bought a bottle 7 yrs. Ago that was so disappointing. I didn't remember it turning cloudy and yet I paid a high price for this bottle..thank you..Michelle Boles

'It is healthy,' declares this classic Absinthe Cusenier poster that depicts a suitably well-fed gent performing the traditional absinthe ritual. The lady at the window is transfixed!

About the absinthe ritual

Absinthe.se is one reliable website that has a short how-to guide to the classic French ritual. They resolutely condemn (and refuse to provide instructions for) the modern-day "fire method".

Instructions for both rituals -- the traditional French one and the recent fire one -- are available at DrinkNation.com.
