Take no offence! I am American myself....it is not uncommon for alot of Americans to know little if anything at all concerning Absinthe. To begin with; Absinthe hails from Europe;and was most popular with The French way back in the 1800's!!! Dont forget it was banned nearly World-Wide for about One Hundred Years and has only recently been resurrected! But; come-on Yanks;...theres 100's of web-sites! Learn alittle.............

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)
