Absinthe is now legal to import to the United States (as of the last couple months -- very recent development), and we DO have some Absente (a no-wormwood Absinthe substitute) downstairs, which, I suppose, if we can now get the real stuff, I may as well try that . . .

Of course, I'd use white sugar rather than turbinado, and not use the bitters. . . it might work. . .
