I like the taste, but you must mix it for the flavour to come out in a drink. With water or in a cocktail is the best way to drink absinthe. Do not drink neat as that is not so nice in my opinion. It is important that the herbs suspended in the alcohol is released to get the full tatse.. and to buy a real absinthe.

Drinking absinthe the original way: dilute with chilled water which you slowly pour into your glass over a cube of sugar. Other ways to drink absinthe were invented since the time of this classic promotional poster by Bensa-Dupont. (Picture: Bibliotheque Forney, Paris)
