So, is this like Greek Ouzo? I bought a bottle of Ouzo in Athens in 2001 and I think I still haven't finished it yet.
Perhaps the "production" efforts would make it more appealing. There's an artsy fartsy history that has a certain appeal to some. That, and it has been banned for the last 100 years for the misunderstanding of a trace psychoactive drug called thujone. (Green Fairy, Green Devil)
Do they drip Absinthe over the sugar and spoon, or ice water over the sugar and spoon into the Absinthe?
