what is absinthe, interesting..

absinthe ain't a rare commodity in kl no more. was at the soft launch earlier this week, and had a sample of a killer absinthe cocktail called "the hulk" at quattro some weeks back.

what's the hulk made of? simple - a shot of absinthe submarined in a pint of guinness draft. the result is pure magic.

and yes, the highest alcohol content absinthe available over the counter is 68%. retails in clubs/pubs for around 500+ minus a visit from the green fairy.

You can read here for more info on absinthe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe
over the counter you get the 68% alcohol content but if you want the 85% alsohol content it is also available at selected lounges in town.

totally no tobacco for me...

plz remember do not drink n drive and too much is not good for ur health

how to order from bartender, just say absinthe(actually i don't know how to pronounce)?

Go to La Bodega and asked for it, pronounce as ab-sin = absinthe

Added on April 7, 2009, 4:20 pmI will try to describe:

The right way to hold a glass of wine is to hold it at the stem, do not hold it like a brandy glass as it will warm up the wine and change its characteristic.To taste it, swirl the wine in the glass, sniff it and finally taste it. do not swallow it immediately instead slurp it in your mouth to really taste it.
They are red and white wine glass. White wine glasses are ussually smaller than the red ones. for champagne there is a champagne flute.
There is also a universal wine glass which is more commonly used nowadays which you can use it for red or white wine.

The best way to learn it is to drink more wine.

you don't actually slurp it. you take a sip. roll it around your palate. suck in a little air through your lips. roll it around again. then drink/spit it out.

either that or blow trumpet from bottle. that's what i do at home anyway...
