Fine. Here's a pic of me and a friend going for a quick drink. Happy now?
Uh oh, is that absinthe? I've had mixed experiences with that stuff, hehe...
No, absinthe isn't so... fluorescent. And isn't meant to be shotted (but people who don't know better do anyway) but rather slowly mixed with water and allowed to slowly louche (go cloudy). If your absinthe is this colour, it won't go cloudy. As in, not really absinthe at all.
This is what absinthe should look like... But no, it's some weak shot they had on offer, Aftershock of some kind I think. I'm not sure, I didn't buy them and aren't usually one for attempting to drink something without letting it touch the sides, but who passes up a free drink?
