[old tree man]

Hi all

thanks Russ

If you google absinth original, Russ,they've got loads of recipes for some mean sounding cocktails.I've got 3 really nice nieces,but I've never got any absinth off them,lucky you!

i used it in jellys
works well with most berries

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...

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

Look up recepie for a blue lagoon...

1 part vodka

1 part blue curaco

half part lime cord.

fill up glass with lemonade or sprite and ice...

big pub chain I know sells this in jugs, offers one with absynth and one with vodka .

Cant remember the name when spirit is changed but goes down well.
