Chartreuse

[GnomusMaximus]

Any one here like Chartreuse? The French monk drink type not the highlighter. Thinking of finding some.

yeah Ive had it before and I wont drink it (my friend gives it to newbs and they think they can handle it - NOT THE CASE) - you can get it from your local liquor store....

I could tell you some stories that are HI-LAR-I-OUS however the stories are not about me cause well the FEW times Ive drank it, end-well-it-did-not.

Its actually just like "the green fairy" aka Absinthe... its made from worm wood also but french monks make it.....

anyway

The color is actually named after the drink. It is a nice color, want to try the liquor but was looking for reviews from people I know.

I know. But I've never tried it. Sorry. I still like the color, though, if that helps.

it has a distinct taste - its like black licorice srs.... you can either sip it or shoot it but unless you like sambuca than dont get it - its strong and it will mess you up after about 2 shots - NO JOKE... I was being srs... I wont drink more than one shot

The drink was mentioned in a book my wife was reading about the Queen Mother and we realized neither of us had ever drank it.

srs though not sure what your local liquor store can do (ask them, they probably just have to order it) but if you cant find it I can get it from where my friend gets it and send you a bottle.... if your interested

its VERY interesting - drink to much of it and forget your night, be giddy and all that stuff like your drunk but different - I really think the wormwood has something to do with it....

They say that the thujone (from the wormwood) is hallucinogenic, then again most of the better absinthes I've had are high proof alcohol of around 140 proof so hard to tell if its the alcohol or the herbs. Wormwood was used by the Romans I believe to kill parasites (worms) in the body. It's a toxin. Anyway, I have gotten totally sh!tfaced from absinthe, yes. as for hallucinating - I would have to say no. Most of the times I've had absinthe I also smoked a huge funnel stuffed with shag tobacco, hash and high grade weed, though, so I'm not the right person to ask. This stuff seems to sneak up on you all at once. You have a shot (or in my case, a shot done ritual style cuz that's how I roll) and you're like...I need more. Then you have more and oops too late your are now effed up in a weird way lol.

I lived in Europe for 4 years in the early 90's. I drank an awful lot of Absinthe and can say without any doubt, that the quantity necessary to induce hallucinations would almost certainly be fatal. The effect from Absinthe is very similar to what you would expect from heavy drinking and very moderate amounts of really clean "go-fast" and very moderate barbs ( Think Lemon or Rorer) all mixed together.

I've had Czech, German and French, but I'd have to say that La Fee' from France is hands down my fave one. Czech was just plain awful and seemed terribly unfiltered. One came in a brown medicinal-type bottle with a sepia-toned label with Van Gogh's pic on it. Should have came with a warning label too lol - one sip and I wanted to scrub it off my tongue - it sort of felt like it was burning off my taste buds.

[eomrat]

but I'd have to say that La Fee' from France is hands down my fave one.

The French stuff that I had was very pricey. The Czech stuff was OK, if a little harsh going down. We mostly drank Spanish Absinthe, I think. I will never remember the name but it was very drinkable.

Somewhere, I have a pic of me and a few others in Salzburg in front of a 4 story mural of Johnny Rotten painted on the side of a building in the heart of the Old Town. Never did figure out why it was there. In the pic, two of my friends are holding Absinthe bottles that were made in Austria. That was really good stuff, kinda sweet actually.

About 6 hours after the picture was taken we were in a club in Vienna where women dressed like Catwoman were leading each other around on leashes and there was a virtual blizzard on every table. We had been awake for about 60 hours ( Got to love the German Apotheke's ) and the scene was too much, a general breakdown occurred and the run ended with four Joes vs two hardcore Doms, a really fine Sub and a mountain of the bad news on a coffee table in a flat with no heat in the middle of February.

Good times?

Hell yeah. Great times. Hopefully I can rep you. I love your stories!

That's good. I suspect sometimes that you are one of a very few that actually know what the hell I am talking about most of the time.

Sneak up on you yes - same with Charteuse - saw a relationship end because of it, a dude sh*t his pants because of it and countless others not remember nights before and/or hungover to high hell - it is NASTY

That's exactly what I was going to ask.

<3 Absinthe with 2:1 Absinthe:Water and a little bit of sugar.

Just drinking a couple of small glasses of it makes me feel really lucid.

This is the absinthe ritual - and you use an ornate absinthe spoon (slotted) and that is placed over a glass (small goblet) that has absinthe in it. You place a sugar cube on the spoon and slowwwwwwwly drip ice water on it til it melts in the absinthe. The ice water and sugar turn the "green fairy" milky and this is called loaching.

the last bottle of La Fee' that got came with a nice absinthe spoon. The bottle is cool because it has a big green eye on the label - the spoon had the same emblem.
