It tastes like anniseed and licorice.

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

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

Oct 29, 2005 3:15am

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.

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?

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

Shai Fisher

isn't the alcohol volatilizable in this temprature?

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!

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

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

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

Cat Morley

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.

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

Cat Morley

Jun 18, 2007 12:47am

Yeah, you certainly could make tequila pops that way.

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

Cat Morley

Jun 21, 2007 10:01pm

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

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

La Kore

Oct 21, 2007 11:50pm

Lol wicked!!! Another on for my mom.

Cat Morley

Oct 22, 2007 12:47am

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

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.
