Bought absente, how should i drink it?

Clearly you're 12 years old.

If you bought something high end like Lucid or Pernod, you can just put it on ice and drink it. The ice is really just for a little water cause it's really high proof and you won't get all the little flavors w/o cutting it.
In reality, it's typically so Star Anise forward that you probably just want to use it in a cocktail of some kind. Generally it's used more like a bitters or as 1/3 oz added to a cocktail than as straight. You get all the flavors of the absinthe that way but it's not like drinking fire or chewing on a piece of star anise.

Yea the stuff with wormwood isn’t illegal.
Absinthe is nasty though. Taste like black jelly beans

Fag detected

You can tell by how this reads user clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

Buttchug, it's the only answer

That... would be very "spicy".

Burn it

Embrace the pain Yea Forumsro, EMBRACE IT

with your mouth

you butt chug it. drinking it is worthless.

OP here. Thinking about trying it without nothing and then with the water and sugar.
I drink whisky with ice but im not used to it. Will I puke?

Straight.
From the bottle.

That’s from the anise used in it. Jaegermeister is the same way.

It was illegal for like 200 years because some faggot axe murdered his family while drunk on it so a lot of countries banned it. In the late 90s and early 2000s most of them removed the ban.
But even with the wormwood you wouldn't hallucinate.
That myth comes from the bootleg absinthe that was available during the ban. Shit was basically poison, and it often could cause hallucinations, but it usually also killed you.

do it with just very cold water and sugar, no ice

*100 years ago. And it was a rifle, not an axe.

Butt chug

With friends

With your mouth?

Don't. Tastes like licorice drawn from a gypsies rancid ass.

there's a method of dropping a sugar cube in and lighting the top on fire before putting it out - we tried similar once and almost started a fire in a bulgarian hotel room

The chemical from wormwood that was claimed to get you fucked actually does not get people high and is almost completely distilled out in the first place. The wine industry made up stories because wine tastes like shit and is for fags and people back then knew it.

1) Put in mouth
2) swallow, and let hit stomach
3)?????
4) PROFIT

I should mention anyone that the fluorescent green shit served on fire in places like Czechoslovakia are probably industrial waste laced with lsd.

The sugar is for flavor but the cold water does make a difference. If you have no other way just let a couple drops fall from your finger into the glass, once it stops swirling and becomes a bit milky - enjoy.

Pace yourself. Two small glasses done this way gets me pretty good after half a lifetime of experience drinking.

Half the fun is watching the reaction, this is where the "appearance of fairies" gets its origin. If you end up enjoying it the brands advertised as being resourced from higher altitudes seem to have a more pronounced affect. Love this shit but it hits the wallet so hard.

Not drinking party liquor. Do something special. Be safe.

To add I have no idea how all the faggots before me could have any experience with this and be so bent out of shape. It isn't some elixir meant to cure a shit life.

>100 dollar bottle of liquor for cocktails

I do not even know where to begin to mock you. People buy scotch rocks for liquor half as expensive.
