[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8223815, member: 93670"] Since folks are making fantasy drinks, absinthe is a great one very few players (or gm's) will have tried. While I can't give a long historical breakdown, the folks from Lucid do a great job of doing that while showing how to use it in [URL='https://abarabove.com/seminars/embracing-lucid-absinthe-replay/']this[/URL] great 1hr video. I & one of my players like the standard absyne with iced water dripped over the sugar cube & special spoon [I](see the video to watch it change color)[/I], that has a very strong very strong fennel/anise flavor &many might not if they don't love the fennel in sweet italian sausage or black licorice. Because of that I'm going to suggest a mixed drink with it that I first got to try at a local speakeasy* that [URL='https://www.facebook.com/LibraryatLilos/photos/367824633985249']literally has floating magic led candles[/URL]. Since my eberron campaign associates absynthe with zilargo gnomes & in my experience I've never had a bar not need me to describe or teach them the recipe for a reverse sazerac sour on the odd event they even [I]have[/I] absynthe I'll call this reverse sazerac sour a zilargo style sazerac.
