On the rocks.

My favorite way of drinking absinthe, is on the rocks. Throw a few ice cubes in a glass and pour in the absinthe, then i usually swirl it around for a minute until it gets a little milky looking then enjoy. I think absinthe is already sweet enough. And for those who think it's disgusting, it might not be for you, or you might of had a bad brand, I have had some I could hardly drink. But a good absinthe is one of my favorite drinks.

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)
