In Brussels, Belgium; my one night out with this fantastic woman.....she takes me to an Absinthe bar. It was actually called Absinthe. You can just imagine. I don't think it was my intention to get annihilated....but is it ever? LOL....and yet it happens...more frequently than not! Hence the new years resolution.....sip, don't chug! Moving along, my friend proceeds to order one pint and 3 shots of Absinthe...a.k.a The Green Fairy, each. Each shot consequtively more expensive than the next which would imply....something....not sure what! Sipping away on the pint we dip the sugar cube in the absinthe and then put it on the 'grill' (for lack of a better term) to burn it. I watch as it disintegrates into the shot and then....bottoms up!!! The first one....yuk!!! Despise black licorice...and that's exactly what it tastes like. Decide that we need to take 5 after that....have a smoke. Onto the next one. Thankfully....a little bit sweater in flavour but not by much. Same deal as before....dip, drip and swig! Now we're rolling...lol! Decide that that one went down beautifully. Didn't waste too much time before knocking back the third one. This time....we're onto the second pint. We decided to change venues after that beer and went right across the street. This bar had its notoriety for serving 200 different kinds of beer.
Please note; in my world.....this wouldn't have been major....3 shots and two pints......comon now.
As I recall, we get to the next bar....order a beer...and that's the end of it! LMAO.......I mean that! I have zero recolection of the rest of the evening. SADLY!!! This is why Absinthe....in 1915 was banned from most of the world. Now....the picture below...says something very different. I only recommend Absinthe...if you have something you really need to forget!
