I was going to do this for tonight's bourbon-based MxMo. I still could, but I was going to play up all the same notes in my write-up--the song, the Gaige book, the Hollinger/Schwartz variation--that you hit here. Might still do this drink if I can find a different angle, but there's no sense just repeating what you've already done. Damn you, Clarke! Gah.

I've got to get a bottle of Lucid, if only to see what all the absinthe fuss is about. As this is my first comment here, btw, I'd like to thank you, Paul, for this blog. I've recently gotten very "into" cocktails and this site has helped a lot. If I turn into a cocktail geek, though, I'm sending you the bill for all my future glassware and liquor purchases. :) Johnny Reb, Whispering Pines, North to Alaska, Sink the Bismark, Johnny Freedom, John Paul Jones, I'm a Honky Tonk Man, One Woman Man, All for the Love of a Girl, Jim Bridger, When It's Springtime in Alaska, The Reuben James, I Got a Hole in my Pirogue, Comanche (The Brave Horse), The Battle of New Orleans... That's all I got off the top of my head. Ooh, one of my favorite songs (at one of my new favorite blogs). I’ve got to get a bottle of Lucid, if only to see what all the absinthe fuss is about.

I think it's just available in New York right now, but expanded distribution is in its future -- go to <a href="http://www.drinklucid.com" rel="nofollow">Lucid's website</a> to find out more. Other legal absinthes are also in the offing; if you want to explore more, I suggest you head over to the <a href="http://www.wormwoodsociety.org" rel="nofollow">Wormwood Society</a>, where there's plenty of info on brands and vendors. And please, <b>please</b> dump the Czech stuff -- it's not really absinthe, despite what it had on the label, and it tastes nothing like the decent stuff, which is what you really need to have around.
