Absinthe Lolly Pops

I just wanted to let you know that one of my friends made these for All Hallow's two years ago.

I died. It was amazing.

cant wait to try

How much golden syrup and cream of tartar and water are you using? I can see it is 1 cup of sugar...Really want to have a go at this!! I tried last night, but they didn't set properly

I must make these. I love making hard candy and this looks like the best recipe ever... Might try it with some "Green Dragon" instead of the Absinthe, seeing as its all illegal here in the US. Oh YES! Thank you for this kick-arse recipe, and your mold is ingenious!

This look excellent! I'm gonna have to try these, they'de make great christmas presents x

wickedd! good for parties and gatherings

I wish I could try this but Absinthe is illegal in my country =

If you can't get Absynthe try Sambucca, Ouzo or Anisette they all have the anniseed flavour, but you would need to add a bit of green (or any other!?) food colouring as they are all clear liquids - unless you get Black Sambucca - now there is a thought - black lethal-lolly-pops.... :o)

have you ever been to lollyphile.com?

You could probably poor these onto spoons and make them coffee mixers!

XP

Wow! I made them using grenedine instead (non-alchoholic, since Im not legal)and they turned out great!

Awesome idea, I don't like the taste of Absinthe but I will make these with Gin for my friend, she does like Absinthe so maybe I will try to make them after all come to think of it...

just wanted to make sure so i don't waste anymore, by 5 shot of absinthe, do you mean 5 ounces? and by a 1/4 cup of cream of tartar do you really mean a teaspoon? i tried this recipe a few times with margarita mix, but unfortunately it didn't work, possibly because it's juice and not alcohol.

Great recipe! Do you really need the tartar?
I have a half-bottle of Drambuie - a wonderful drink from your neck of the woods - that I could try with this...
What do you think?

Ahhh, la Fee Verte!!! This looks lovely! Unfortunately I have not had Absinthe since I was in Europe. Well done Cat!

I'm guessing thats the Legal kind of absinth? lol. Do they taste good at all? My uncle had some of the less.. *ahem*LEGAL.. kind, lol, and he said it tasted pretty grody,.

Here in the states, some liqueur stores do have a Absinthe flavored liqueur. Not quite the same, but you at least get the flavor.

simply amazing! i shall try this one day!

Omg, i'm SO gonna try this with Malibu!!!

um could i just ask if youre youger ( like twelve) is there a substitute for the absinthe?

That. Is. AWESOME!!!

hmm too bad it illegal here. So I have never had it. but can't wait to try.
these would be great for st. pattys day ;)
can you order it online if you live in the u.s?

This is cool, I have some absinthe here but I don't think I can waste it on making lollipop, it was about a 100$ a bottle...
Maybe I can use it to make some whiskey lollipop - would tat work?

you've just given me reason to have a party...
with the nicest tasting lollies going!

Oh I so have to make these for my guy he is a Huge absinthe fan.

Hey Courtney, if you want to get the same absinthe taste, you could use some kind of aniseed flavoring, licorice flavoring would work well too. You can use this recipe and substitute the absinthe for any kind of flavoring you like.

Cat, im a bit too young to Have alcohol So i know its Stupid.. But is there a non-alcoholic Substance i could use instead? PLZZZ REPLY PLZ PLZ PLZ

I think it's best to heat it on a medium flame and gradually bring the temperature up. It's really important that you remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches the hard crack stage, using a confectionary thermometer should help.

I tried to make this last night, but only managed to make a big hunk of browned sugar. It's soaking in my sink to try to get it out of the pan. Would you suggest putting it over high heat to cook? I couldn't get it up to the 300 degrees until I cranked the temp up, so I think it boiled too long. I'd love to have these done for a halloween party this weekend. . . Thanks.

You don't really get the full effect of absinthe because it's only a small amount, perhaps if you had lots of them.

Lol wicked!!! Another on for my mom.

thats cool! do you still get the full affect of absinthe?

teeheehee! now I'm a legal drinker and these look tasteeee!!
Getting drunk with candy... freaken awesome

Yeah, I bet it would taste great with Midori too!

Just wondering...do you think I could make them with Midori? O.o I love Midori...*¬*

Scotland. I think it's legal all over Europe.

Where exactly do you live that Absinthe is legal? Stupid USA

Yeah, you certainly could make tequila pops that way.

aniseed and liquorice yummmmmmmmmy...but i cant drink it i am only 11...i wonder if i put my sisses high heals on and some mascara i wonder if i could get away with it...is ther an alternetive for the Absinthe??? pls reply cat...

Hmm, you could perhaps try some aniseed or licorice flavouring, if such a thing exists. Try different flavourings though, you can use any - strawberry, cherry, vanilla. Otherwise, I guess you'll just have to wait until you're old enough.

For the older kids, you can buy absinthe online. A number of places stock it, <a href="http://www.lafeeabsinthe.com/">La Fee</a> is one that will ship to the US.

No problem. x

I just got it in the supermarket. It's legal over here. You can buy it online if you are stuck - try the La Fee Absinthe website.

No you probably wouldn't then.. considering it tastes very strongly of the two. You should make these with a drink you do like though.. malibu would be nice.

Yeah they are. mmm

Indeed it is.. that's why it's a good idea to take it in small doses such as lolly pops.

It tastes like anniseed and licorice.

they look so nice , yum bet there really strong tasting. you shjould sell them in uni
