I've never tried it but I assume it taste similar to pastis which I can't stand

I’ve tried it only once but without sugar and couldn’t stand its taste. Will remember to try it with sugar the next time.

Yeah, the box said 2 ounces absinthe, 3 ounces water, 1 sugar cube.

Gotcha.

Edit: Never mind. Just learnt that absinthe doesn’t cause hallucinations.

If you've got some rye (it doesn't have to be fancy), have a whirl with a sazerac (the Peychaud's bitters are essential): https://www.esquire.com/food-drink/drinks/recipes/a3876/sazerac-drink-recipe/

I did buy some bourbon and bitters to make a sazerac actually, gotten it at the bar, and i really enjoyed it.

Death in the Afternoon: Sweeter Sparkling wine (Prosecco) 4 oz plus 2 oz of Absinthe. If this is still too dry for you, add a bar spoon of simple syrup. Drink slowly. This was a drink Hemmingway enjoyed and it will knock you on your butt if you’re not careful.
