Hey guys,

I'll forgoe the long lecture on absinthe, it's history and methods of creation and assume that you know all that or just don't care and move right onto my point...

Absinthe as we all know is basically a type of vodka so go with a really strong one if steeping (soaking the mash in the spirit) such as balkan to get a real good absinthe.

m.g. is bob on with the alcohol content tho, the higher the better, although I've found gin to be quite a good one to use for potcohol as it's all ready got a bit of a herby taste to it! Tey and get hold of a bottle of millers 40% (about 80proof to you guys) and just leave it in for longer! Produces a very interesting drink.

Take it steady out there guys...
