jimzuma Report post Posted May 24, 2006 If there was a piece of cork floating in your Jade would you: A. pick it out with an absinthe spoon B. leave it in C. fish it out with your finger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertWolf Report post Posted May 24, 2006 A or C depending on how close a spoon was. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hectma Report post Posted May 24, 2006 I'd leave it in and drink it. It's kind of like the worm at a bottom of a bottle of Mezcal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Uh... 1) I'd decant it into a large measuring cup. 2) Use a small corner of a coffee filter to fish the floating cork out and decant it back into the bottle. If I had some sedimentation (not to be confused with the so-called sea-monkeys): after settling, 1) I'd pour the clarified portion of the absinthe into a clean glass container, 2) then pour the portion of the spirit that contained disturbed sedimentation into a funnel-shaped glass of some sort. 3) Let it stand for a day in a dark cabinet, then draw off or gently decant the portion above the settled debris.

Nepenthes Report post Posted May 24, 2006 E. With a fine mesh strainer over the sink, gently pour contents down the drain, collect cork fragments and deposit in garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah, I definitely miss that. Oh, but 8-tracks were so cool! Having sliced, diced and spliced my way through miles of analog tape and tried to get one more play from worn out grooves, I'll happily take anyone's CDs you'd like to donate to a very friendly theatre program. After 25+ years as a sound designer, patch me in digital. Not only is absinthe and sex a good analogy, it's also a great combination. I'm not sinking either one, Martin.

Daemon Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Even my worst absinthe being Emile Coulin... I couldn't sink it. Perhaps its because the bottle is nice to look at. And I still am entertaining plans for using it, making "absinthe shisha". And yes.... how did cassettes become the new thing after 8 tracks? You mean, I have to rewind???

tristan Report post Posted May 25, 2006 Easy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Telekenesis? And just how much absinthe must one imbibe in order to attain these powers? Conicidentally, in Roald Dahl's Matilda, a book about a young girl with telekenetic powers, the protagonist's surname is 'Wormwood'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Boy Report post Posted May 25, 2006 If it (any liquor) tastes like crap I'll sink it. I've sinked: beer, wine, gin, absinthe, scotch, whiskey, whisky, bourbon, rum, I haven't sinked a vodka yet, but since it's not supposed to have any taste why would I try it. Just 'cuz a booze is of a type I like doesn't mean I have to choke it down. In fact I feel there is more reason for such crap to be sunk and called out so that the makers make better. I hold my beverages to a higher standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
