Gwydion Stone Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Depends on the "absinthe" you start with, I suppose. I can't imagine anise and mango going well together, but then, I like Serpis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrainerAZ Report post Posted May 27, 2006 Not only is it not a way to start a Friday, it's not a way to start or finish any day. Maybe they should try sending little sample bottles with orders. Then we can say for sure if it's disgusting, or just odd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimzuma Report post Posted May 27, 2006 I've now fully lost faith in SC as a place to discover anything new that's worth a crap. They only seem to be interested in foo-foo absinthe instead of trying to bring on board real quality brands. It's like they are trying to appeal to the flavored Vodka crowd or something. It's just sad because they are nice people. Oh well whataya gonna do- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hartsmar Report post Posted May 27, 2006 If I would ever happen to be in Barcelona I guess I'd have to leave their store with all kinds of colored absinth(e)s and probably even the damned Mangosinthe. They would fit well on that bottom shelf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill Turkey Report post Posted May 27, 2006 SC is definitely the place to go to find absinthe flavored with mango, coffee, cannabis, cherries, marzipan, etc. I'm hoping to see them come out with one flavored with wormwood, fennel and green anise.

hartsmar Report post Posted May 27, 2006 Oh that's just over rated snobbish stuff you're talking about. Hmmm, much like the stuff currently finding it's way to your house. Be sure to check their expiration dates though. Might old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted May 27, 2006 As opposed to those formal, high-stress absinthe nights... Like last night? The youngest hosted the cast party. 20+ screaming high school kids running through the forest scaring the bejesus out of the bears and mountain lions. While Maggie and I sipped our Kübler, I wondered how our lives must be a little different from HS parents in New York, Chicago, Seattle, etc... Maybe not so different?

Larspeart Report post Posted May 29, 2006 I love mango. I love absinthe. I'd hate mango absinthe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Ditto. Mango in beer, perhaps. In absinthe, never. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrainerAZ Report post Posted May 31, 2006 So, who's gonna try the Absinthe Mango? I think I'd rather have an Absinthe Watermelon. Cut a hole in the melon, pour in a bottle of F. Guy or La Feh, cork it back up . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stroller Report post Posted May 31, 2006 You could save some money & just stuff some old gym socks into the melon. As good as using the FG at 1/60 the cost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
