This is not the site for ground-breaking news, but absinthe is back (for a few weeks now). The mystical, oft misunderstood drink of artists everywhere. Two brands (Kubler & Lucid) are now for sale in the United States, and I want some.
After being sold our repeatedly at my local liquor store, Lucid is finally in stock. I had it in my hands last night,but couldn't quite take the plunge. At nearly $70 a bottle, I wasn't sure I could do it. Kubler is the bottle I really want. The fine folks over at the Wormwood Society seem to favor it over Lucid.
Here's the thing: Having never had the Green Stuff before, I'm tempted just to buy Lucid & get it over with. Being the impatient person I am, that's probably what I'll do too (I haven't seen Kubler once).
I'll keep you posted.
