Absinthe is great with Egyptian Licorice Mint Tea!

I get my Absinthe at a local distillery, Pilot House, here in Astoria. During the fall and winter it is my go-to beverage in the evening. Brew up a steaming cup of Yogi Egyptian Licorice tea and add a tot of Absinthe. Heaven!

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)
