I’d love to be able to tell you that I wrote about this way last summer when it was actually news, (I even did research, for chrissakes!) but Providence Monthly can’t seem to figure out how to archive stuff online, so you’re just going to have to trust me. It’s been coming up a lot lately, what with the Lucid absinthe brand being finally available at a lot of bars here in town. You could read this article, which sums it up rather nicely, or if you want, here’s the basics: It’s pricey; last time I had it, at Muldowny’s of all places, it was $10 for a rocks glass of the stuff. Also, it doesn’t taste nearly as good as the Swiss, French and Spanish bottles I’ve ordered from Europe, back before it was “legalized” here. And lastly, anything that’s 70% alcohol is going to fuck you up, regardless of some supposedly psychoactive/herbal/God-root that was barely in the original, old-timey absinthe to begin with. Whatever, I still love it. Who wants to throw in and we’ll get like, five bottles of the good French stuff sent over?
