Absinthe in Grandmother's glass

Swedish-made real absinthe "Grön Opal" (Green Opal) in an antique wine-glass I inherited from my dear grandmother, God Rest Her Soul.  One of those glasses broke today, but luckely I have few more. They are very old - but I have used them a lot. Many a good wine have been enjoyed from these glasses - and now: absinthe.



Everything on the market called absinthe is not that, but simply alcohol with added essence and food-colouring. This, however, is the real deal. 

And NO, you dont prepare absinthe by setting fire on the alcohol or any of that nonsense. You pour ice-cold water into it! This absinthe is 72% alcohol so it is watered down 4:1.

Delicious. Smooth and complex. No "burning" sensation in your mouth, throat or belly afterwards. Just satisfaction.
