Drink This Now – Germain-Robin Absinthe at SAGE

[nggallery id=978]

Germain-Robin’s Absinthe Superieure, is so herb-y, sweet and floral, you hardly need to add the sugar to it.

But G.M. Mike Shetler and his crew at the bar at Sage do such a nice job with the presentation, it’s a shame to ask them not to perform their alcohol alchemy.

Besides, the little extra sweetness is a good way to introduce novices to the wonders of the green fairy, and a good way to sweeten up your date for a little sweetness later.

Because, as we all know, absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

I’ll be here all the week.

Freebasing Absinthe at Fleur de Lys

Absinthe maketh the heart grow fonder

Becky the Bartender is one diabolical drink diva. No sooner had ELV sidled up to the smart, cool and cozy bar at Fleur de Lys than she had him inhaling absinthe fumes through a long straw…and choking on the smoke like it’s 1983 all over again. Now, without giving away too much, let’s just say that ELV has been, at various times in his life….er…uh…well acquainted with the various highs and lows caused by various controlled substances. And one hit from the flamed-then-contained fumes of some Lucid absinthe took ELV straight back to a few wild parties from this era.

Becky is supposed to be getting us the recipe, but we think this is something best left to professionals. And you’ll have to excuse ELV now, as he needs to rock up some Peruvian flake and take another hit.
