...but absinthe makes Pete's clothes stay on (in the shower, that is).
I guess Absinthe has been made legal in New York state for a few weeks now and the lovely Peter decided to buy a bottle of it. He drank roughly two shots of it last weekend and was fall-down, shit-grinnin' drunk. Claimed not to see any green fairies but asked the bartender at Kitty Hoynes if she would make him a "Wild Pony." When she said no, he bought us shots of "the cheapest whiskey you got."
There is still almost a full bottle of Absinthe sitting on Joe's counter and I don't think any of us are ready and/or willing to die any time soon... but the following recipe calls for a mere 8th of a teaspoon and I'm thinking that would do little harm (or I could be terribly, terribly wrong).
Absinthe Martini
2oz Gin (aka Pine Sol)
1/2oz Dry Vermouth
1/8tsp Absinthe
Serve over ice. (Supposedly tastes quite dandy with an onion-stuffed olive... no thanks).
