It tastes like anniseed and licorice.

29 Oct 01:14

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

oooo do they taste nice?

underthethrow

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

29 Oct 03:13

Yeah they are. mmm

kevon

29 Oct 03:14

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

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

29 Oct 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.

melp0mene

ooooh. they are pretty!

13 Feb 19:59

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.

13 Feb 20:56

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

07 Mar 02:47

No problem. x

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

24 Jun 15:39

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

13 Jul 23:31

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

Shai Fisher

25 Jul 00:30

isn't the alcohol volatilizable in this temprature?

Cathy

17 Aug 17:13

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. LOL!

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

17 Aug 17:14

Juggalo

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

Bec

08 Dec 17:56

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

16 Jan 16:35

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

14 Feb 15:48

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

Charles

05 Mar 11:25

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

Weetzie Bat

13 Mar 15:15

Holy crap! That's so wonderful!

23 Mar 21:08

How do you buy the absinth?

Phantasmagoria

30 Mar 01:05

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

03 Apr 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...

Victoria

18 Jun 00:46

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

18 Jun 00:47

Yeah, you certainly could make tequila pops that way.

katiekiinz

21 Jun 22:00

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

21 Jun 22:01

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

astral_sakurachan23

27 Jul 05:55

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

06 Sep 20:12

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

Jocelyn A.

10 Sep 00:04

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

Snow Cone

14 Oct 18:20

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

LaKore

21 Oct 23:50

Lol wicked!!! Another on for my mom.

22 Oct 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

24 Oct 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.

24 Oct 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.

14 Dec 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

14 Dec 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.

Tracey D.

12 Feb 17:01

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

Laura R.

18 Feb 17:34

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

aya R.

02 Mar 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 Malia

17 Mar 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.

18 Mar 22:35

That. Is. AWESOME!!!

Ginger Ginger.

07 Apr 10:50

Mi.ezekatze

23 May 15:10

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

Mourir.

25 May 07:30

simply amazing! i shall try this one day!

03 Jul 20:18

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

17 Aug 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

10 Sep 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

13 Nov 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.

18 Dec 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.

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...

MacLovin♥x♥x♥

18 Jan 20:11

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

Haylee S.

24 Apr 16:51

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

have you ever been to lollyphile.com?

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)
