It tastes like anniseed and licorice.

Cat Morley

October 29th, 2005 01:14

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

i've never had absinthe before. those look magical though.

Cat Morley

October 29th, 2005 03:13

Yeah they are. mmm

With just a hiiiint of rat poison:P j/k absinth is lethal though!!

underthethrow

Oct 29, 2005 3:14am ago

i don't know what anniseed tastes like and i don't like licorice. so i have a feeling i wouldn't like it.

Cat Morley

October 29th, 2005 03:15

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.

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.

Awesome! Just curious: Where to you get your absinthe?

Jennykat

Mar 7, 2006 3:35am ago

Oooooh! Now I know what to do with my next bottle! AND you use my brand-thanks for the recipe! >^..^<

Nat

ooh, those look great! I don't like absinthe tho, but t-t-t-tequila ones would be fab for a friend's 23rd... Great tute!

Maui

Hmm...are they really, really strong? I wouldn't want to kill people with them! LOL! And can I substitute the Absinth with say, Tequila or Vodka?

Drew Noakes

What a great idea. I wonder though, whether the alcohol in the absinthe evaporates at that temperature (150F / 70C)...?

Shai Fisher

Jul 25, 2006 12:30am ago

isn't the alcohol volatilizable in this temprature?

Cathy

Aug 17, 2006 5:13pm ago

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. LOL!

BTW I found you while Stumbling on Mozilla, in case you are interested!

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. LOL!

so does it taste like red or black licorice?? cause i hate black licorice

Bec

We had a rather disasterous attempt at making these tonight. I suggest that you don't try this without a candy thermometer. Some things just don't work when you wing it!

Sabrina

Jan 16, 2007 4:35pm ago

OK. So where can I get this? We bought a bottle while in St. Martin but haven't opened it yet. Sounds great to me. So how do you feel when you drink the stuff?

Smita

Feb 14, 2007 3:48pm ago

A "5 shot" is how much of the absinthe, exactly?

Charles

Mar 5, 2007 11:25am ago

Awesome recipe, I love absinthe and this is just another way to enjoy the Green Fairy!

Holy crap! That's so wonderful!

How do you buy the absinth?

Phantasmagoria

Mar 30, 2007 1:05am ago

Looks cool to bad I live in the USA and absinthe has been illegal here since 1911...

Cat Morley

April 3rd, 2007 02:27

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.

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.

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...

If I wanted tequila-pops, can I just replace the absinthe with tequila?

Cat Morley

June 18th, 2007 00:47

Yeah, you certainly could make tequila pops that way.

katiekiinz

June 21st, 2007 22:00

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

Cat Morley

June 21st, 2007 22:01

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

July 27th, 2007 05:55

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

Cat Morley

September 6th, 2007 20:12

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

Jocelyn A.

September 10th, 2007 00:04

Getting drunk with candy... freaken awesome

Snow Cone

October 14th, 2007 18:20

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

LaKore

October 21st, 2007 23:50

Lol wicked!!! Another on for my mom.

Cat Morley

October 22nd, 2007 00:47

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

Cranky Amy

October 24th, 2007 17:06

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.

Cat Morley

October 24th, 2007 20:03

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.

December 14th, 2007 21:43

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 :D

Cat Morley

December 14th, 2007 22:04

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.

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

Laura R.

aya R.

March 2nd, 2008 01:27

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?

Kearyn

March 17th, 2008 22:05

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?

Not A.

March 18th, 2008 22:35

FIZZY PoPZ.

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

DIS.AR.RAY

August 17th, 2008 02:20

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,.

mamachka

September 10th, 2008 02:23

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

Frustrated Crafter

November 13th, 2008 00:06

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?

Rochelle B.

December 18th, 2008 21:42

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.
