I once tried some with jelly beans in. Don't do that. It didn't improve the flavour at all.

Hey Russ!
you could distill the alcohol out of it and use it to make other stuff like vanilla extract or rocket fuel...

Re: some idea's needed
wow i went on the absynth recipie site there are lots of talk about the green fairy so i decided to marinate some cheap pears (jane got some from the market for 30p ) and make a cake with them and see how that goes, so thanks for the pointers i'll see what else i can do with it thanks all, oh Nev i would probably blow myself up if i went near a still and jane would kill me
