 ~ Prague Absinth ~ by Heavens-Mirror
It is worth trying some Absinth when in Prague but its not very tasty... although you might like it. You can also buy it in small bottles and give to friends as gifts.

Essentially, if you have one or two (and once you get past the overwhelming urge to gag) you're night will be fantastic and your head will be a beautiful place.
Drink it properly. Dip in a spoonful of sugar, light the spoon and allow the sugar to drip into the glass to set the Absynth alight. Stir... blow out the fire and down it in one... you should be able to feel it travel along the journey to your stomach. Leave a Comment

You may buy it in most of the souvenir-shops, for a price that is much cheaper than ordering it in your country over the internet.
The first stadium is like normal drinking...
the second stadium is like seeing cruel things...
but if you don't give up, you will see things you want to see - great, unusual things !

The Czech Republic and Spain are the only two places that legally sell Absinthe in Europe. If you want the real stuff (that supposedly made Van Gogh cut off his own ear) cough up the extra money for a bottle containing wormwood. The color should be a foggy green. These bottles should cost no less than $30.
If you're more into the buzz/souvenir than the hallucinogenic qualities, grab a cheaper electric-blue bottle.
TO DRINK: Soak a teaspoon full of sugar in Absinthe then light on fire. Stir the shot with the sugared spoon, extinguish, and shoot. Make sure to have water on hand for a chaser! Leave a Comment

 Absinthe and Sage (or the
other way around...) by Sagespot
The deadliest locally produced brand is Hills Liquere absinthe from Jindrichuv Hradec - although thats the brand I had and it tasted like little more than horrific mouthwash.
In case you're worried the amount of wormwood in absinthe is negligble so you won't go crazy. *grin* Leave a Comment

The Czech Republic is the only country still producing absinthe, so when you visit it is a must. It isn't the strongest alcohol made (that would be everclear), but it is up there at 70% alchohol by volume. It is an odd green color, but doesn't really taste much. You mainly feel a burn when you swallow. Be sure to have it the traditional way by burning a spoon full of sugar and mixing it in. Have a local show you how. Leave a Comment

Absinthe is available in Prague and costs a fraction of the price compared to website adverts for it - and also in the supermarkets in the UK. Leave a Comment
