]]> Comment on The Myth Behind Absinthe by AbsintheDrinker http://www.after5catalog.com/cocktailblog/the-myth-behind-absinthe/2008/03/07/#comment-57 AbsintheDrinker Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:03:51 +0000 http://www.after5catalog.com/cocktailblog/the-myth-behind-absinthe/2008/03/07/#comment-57 A very interesting article. Do you think that thujone matters in the so called "absinthe effect" or secondaries? The effect is the primary reason that I drink absinthe. I have tried recently a low thujone absinthe (Kubler), a medium level absinthe Clandestine and a high thujone absinthe called Century Absinthe. The latter has 100mg thujone. It is very clear from my tastings that thujone does indeed have an effect! I have asked on other forums and have been told (rather rudely) that it was placebo effect or the alcohol. I disagree as the effect of drinking absinthe is quite different to other high proof alcohol and I am very used to that. A very interesting article.

I'm sure a lot more than these people indulged in the drinking of absinthe and since its subsequent banning in many countries in the early 1900’s contributes to anti-absinthe sentiment and one less drink for the MAD organization to be concerned with. Myself, if it were on the shelf and available, I'm sure I would be one of its users, only on a more casual level.

]]> Comment on Whiskey…Whiskey…Whiskey and…more Whiskey!! by Kristen http://www.after5catalog.com/cocktailblog/the-skinny-on-whiskey/2008/02/28/#comment-54 Kristen Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:57:25 +0000 http://www.after5catalog.com/cocktailblog/the-skinny-on-whiskey/2008/02/28/#comment-54 I too enjoy a well made whiskey cocktail. While my taste preferences seem to be slightly sweeter than the drink choices you offered with your delightful whiskey article, I thought it may be beneficial to provide alternative whiskey drinks to go along with yours. Highball Tennessee Whiskey- 1 oz Gingerale- 6 oz Pour whiskey first, and then the gingerale. John Collins Tennessee Whiskey-1 oz Club Soda-1 oz Sour Mix- 6 oz Pour sour mix and whiskey into a shaker, shake well, pour into a glass and top off with seltzer. Ward Eight American Whiskey- 1.5 oz. Lemon Juice-1 oz. Sour Mix-1 oz. Grenadine-.25 oz Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice, strain and pour into a glass. I enjoy these whiskey combinations, but again they provide a different taste option. I'd feel guilty if i didn't give credit for the recipes I provided. I got these recipes from www.liquorlive.com.
