call me old skool, but can anyone tell me what kind of liquor this is? my sister recently came back from europe and brought my wife and i 5 small circular bottles with a hole in the middle of this green stuff.
our drink of choice is usually red wine so i've no idea. all she said was to "be careful" and to "cut" it with water.
Thanks!

Ever see Euro-Trip...Is Absinthe even legal in the US?
From WIWK
Absinthe originated in Switzerland as an elixir but is better known for its popularity in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers whose romantic associations with the drink still linger in popular culture. In its heyday, the most popular brand of absinthe worldwide was Pernod Fils. At the height of this popularity, absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug; the chemical thujone was blamed for most of its deleterious effects. By 1915, it was banned in a number of European countries and the United States. Even though it was vilified, no evidence shows it to be any more dangerous than ordinary alcohol. A modern absinthe revival began in the 1990s, as countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale.

take a shot of it mixed with two spoon fulls of sugar and enjoy, you will feel the full effect of it that way. If you take a ton of shots of it you will just get drunk nothing cool
