Brian and Jason showed up 30 minutes early in sweatpants because when they heard we were doing an episode on "absinthe," they thought it was a fitness program scored by John Carpenter. Unfortunately, it was not.

Was hmthe bartender drunk during this recording?
During my first year of university, I had a bottle of absinthe that was almost entirely a party piece (I wasn't a big drinker at all). It came in a fancy bottle, and everyone enjoyed showing it to their friends for exactly the reasons to you mentioned, as well as to enjoy their colourful reactions to the taste. This bottle lived on a table along with the rest of the flat's alcohol, and one fateful night, while a party was in full swing I saw a very drunk girl pick up the bottle and uncork it. Being far too drunk to realise what it was, or notice the taste, she downed a good third of the bottle before I was able to reach her and wrestle it away from her. She managed to make it five steps before collapsing, vomiting and passing out, spectacularly hitting her head on the way down. I got rid of the bottle of absinthe very soon after that. Some powers were not meant for mortal men to meddle with, and the stupidity of drunks should never be underestimated XD
She learned her lesson
The lesson was never drink absinthe without sugar, am I right?

I understand absinthe... I understand that the last time I had a lot of it I couldn't remember the rest of the night. I also understand why I couldn't leave the bathroom floor after I woke up the next morning. I didn't see any green fairies, but I did see some green stuff. It was mystical experience alright... The toilet and I went on a magical journey.
Uf haha. One of my mates got so wasted that I had to call an ambulance. They told that he had like 5 promiles 😅
I was half expecting that when Brian took the sip, a poorly edited green fairy appeared near him that looks suspiciously like Bill Doran...
Or Dresspants Robotman.
Or Santa. But Bill Doran has my vote.
I too think Bill Doran would be fun

Sipping on straight Absinthe right now. I agree, there is definitely a reason it's diluted 1:4. It's absolutely POTENT. But extremely smooth, considering it's 130 proof. And quite sweet!
At 1:4 it’s like a licorice soft drink. Incredible
I like mine at around 1:2 on rocks, no sugar
Understanding Pruno would have been a good idea..

I love the routine of drinking Absinthe, the absinthe fountain, sugar water dripping down into the glass, I have a couple kinds of fountains and all kinds of absinthe glasses and the slotted spoons. I do this a couple times of year, mostly around this time of year, from thanksgiving to Christmas

Absinthe insanely raises heart rate (sometimes you'll feel like dying on a dance floor), but it's still one of my fav picks to start a party quickly (for example, you're late and everyone's already tipsy)

When I was in Paris last month I kept seeing ads at the train stations for Tequila Absinthe. It's called Desperados Absinto and was disappointed that I didn't get to try it before I flew to Rome. I thought it was a weird drink combo until I saw Hemp Energy drinks in Rome.
I'm going out on a limb here, but Tequila Absinthe sounds like a real world Forget-Me-Shot.
@@TheAttacker732 This is more than a shot, it's in a beer bottle.

Why did he serve Pernod and not Absinthe?
exactly, real absinthe is available in the states now, with the holy trinity intact.
@@lokimartin9686 you mean the Triforce
@@lokimartin9686 Are you sure? I thought anything containing thujone was still illegal to sell in the US.
Absinthe today is made in a way that virtually none of any of the potentially haucionagenic compounds in wormwood make it into the bottle. I would be very supprised if its even put in anymore and is just absinthe by name. Im pretty sure thujone can also be found in mugwort. A plant thats commonly found along the coastal region where i live. It reputedly makes an excelent flavour enhancer for meat dishes
@@steammachine3061 My comment was meant for the US only. Although the regulations on the quantity of thujone that can be used in Absinthe depend on the country/region, it's available in its original form across Europe and Canada.
In all true honesty, I LOVE the taste of Absinthe straight. There is something mesmerizing with each shot. You always taste something different than before.
Recently I've been going through a really hard time, contemplating death but I go and watch your video on this and your personal videos and you guys are the way I can calm down. So thank you so very much. Lots of love Frazer❤️

I went to an absinthe bar with a few friends while studying in Paris, and that ended up being the best night of my summer abroad because we got a little loopy and had some of the best conversations.
They need to make a movie about these two
These two need a feature length movie; the Strange Brew of the Modern Age. :P
What would happen if you mixed malört (wormwood spirit), sambuca (anise liquor), and some finocchietto digestif (fennel liqueur)? Would you get a decent absinthe facsimile, or swill? I really love malört for the wormwood flavors so I'm intrigued by absinthe's holy trinity of flavors. Bitter, numbing, and reminiscent of the feeling that you want to fight your dad. MMM boy!
Just gotta say, *everything* , about this show and channel is extremely professional. Just for example, the camera work, like the cut's, the little pop-up info blocks, and just the dialogue. It's truly mind boggling to me that this channel isn't more popular. RUclips really needs to fix their algorithm.
Tried absinthe for the first time in germany this summer. Great mixed with passion fruit juice actually and the original water and sugar mix is also very refreshing
6:47 i hear someone saying "No" but i cant see who's saying it my mind is in shambles the pieces are floating in an eternal limbo
Absinthe Brian is my favourite. I'm so glad you guys made an absinthe video, because I've been wondering about this stuff for forever.
"You're about to degrease an engine with this stuff" I don't know why that cracked me up XD I can just picture a jump cut to Trevor in front of Brian's Jeep holding a bottle of absinthe getting ready to degrease that bitch
"I thought those were croutons" this along with the after you opening, the engine degreasing and the murder stories have made this not only the funniest and also my favorite mixology episode XD
4:00. This is a misconception the "bathsalts" that make people eat other people are a group of synthetic stimulants (cathinones) not any kind of salt
Its not called bathsalts cause its actually a salt dumbfuck, it was just sold at first as "bath salts" so they could sell it without actually saying "cathinones"
" Have you ever drunk absinthe from like the 1900s? Picasso drank it. OI!!! **clap clap** ABSYNF!!!!"- Aldous Snow [Get Him to the Greek]
Picasso probably drank the good stuff, from respectable brewers that kept their stills clean.
Conversely, Vincent Van Gogh was probably on a tight enough budget that he could only afford the cheap, copper salt-laden brands that literally made you hallucinate.
Pastis is not Absinth but both contain anise.
Original Absinth (from the french jura mountains) is a very complex beverage in terms of ingredients and production. Its just that many producers use cheaper ingredients and alcohol to jump on that fashion for profit. Likewise it is not a "cocktail" for ordinary bars but requires a certain atmosphere/mood to experience its nature and complexity.
Yo the best part of this video was suddenly hearing L'Indecise and thinking I was accidentally tripping (it's on my LSD playlist, seemed an appropriate thought given the video subject also lol)
Haven’t watched you guys probably since this channel was made and I’ve been loving the content recently, I wish I came back sooner cause these videos are amazing to fall asleep to

M: "ok you got me, I thought I had a good one"
Pernod misses the deep charackter of Absinth. As an Absinthe drinker I feel sorry for you not getting to taste 100% Natural Chechz Absinth. Also it tastes rather sweet with moderately strong Anis notes than bitter.
Except the Czech Republic had no history of Absinthe until very recently and most of that stuff if poorly macerated. If you want absinthe that's close to the belle epoche drink I'd recommend Vieux Pontarlier, they use herbs from the Pontarlier region of France (where the best absinthe came from during the Belle Epoche) and one of the original alembic stills.
Yea. I’d definitely recommend some Swiss or French absinthe over Chech. If you are on a budget Kübler is some pretty good stuff.
Definitely! Go for swiss absinthe and please don't use a sugar cube... We usually drink it without in the region it's from. And one thing they should have done in the video is add some ice in the absinthe fountain.... Always go for nice and cold water (we used to have some bottles hidden close to the fountains for a quick absinthe in the region of Neuchatel).
The Kübler is a good recommendation if you wanna go cheap but if you can, I would personnally recommend Absinthe Le Chat by Willy Bovet, which is one of my favourite
I second this. Czech Absinthe is nothing like the french, swiss (or even good german) stuff. It´s sweet and always has anise in it. "Real" Absinthe should have no sugar added to it - it´s actually a bitter - and it doesnt need to have anise (thats why some Absithes don´t get cloudy when you add cold water). You guys should really try a Pontarlier. @mariusdire is definitely right about this! And the swiss "la bleue"? Nothing for starters imho but if you are into Absinthe get one.
There are literally hundreds of different Absinthe recipes. Even if you stick to a single, strict recipe, different batches will vary in flavor, strength and color (as with any liqueur) depending on the weather, the growing seasons for the herbs, and even how long it's been in the bottle.
It's as varied as wine, basically.
I love absinthe. Often times when I have someone ordered Sambuca up, I try to get them to try a traditional absinthe cocktail. At least 3 of the regulars have switched from licorice to anise.
Just after Moulin Rouge got announced as coming to Broadway. Thanks Guys.

And one of the best Modern Rogue double entendres ever follows soon after where Brian does an about turn and leaves with his drink to go chat with Santa!
So glad I started rewatching the cocktail playlist today lol
so, I live in Argentina and recently had a shot of absinthe and immediately remembered the taste of a sweet called "media hora" (half an hour) that taste exactly equal to absinthe (minus the alcohol), it really is delightful
I thought Pernod was pronounced pair-no, with the d being silent.
It is the D is silent
Watch the Blood and Sand episode, he also mispronounces “Islay”.
Remember. Austin, Texas. There are no silent letters.
That's Americans for you. They butcher languages including English lol.
It was used to make bathtub laudanum more palatable and that is why peeps were tripping balls and it was made illegal. And, in case you're wondering why absinthe specifically was used, it was because of its very very strong anise (among others) flavor that worked very effectively to mask the putrid flavor of the black market laudanum. And yes, that stuff was taken orally, nobody was mainlining it in the 1800.
Why does the title say absinthe when you drink pastis? They're not the same drink, this was created to circumvent the ban.
Huh?
When Brian busts up laughing, gets me every time. Makes me also laugh.
Very good video. I absolutely agree that presentation of a spirit contributes to its overall experience. I believe that some of the mythology surrounding absinthe is a little founded in science. Your body absorbs water and glucose (sugar water "loosh") almost instantly, these are binded with the alcohol which can contribute to an instant drunk effect! At least that's how it was explained to me... More of the presentation probably.
not really.... but yes your body absorbs the glucose rather quickly, and then the alcohol only takes a little longer than that. so the combination of a rise in blood sugar levels and a rise in blood alcohol content could help create this 'instant drunk' effect, but there are no protein pumps for both sugar and alcohol, and glucose is a fairly neutral molecule so wouldn't react with a stable one such as alcohol.
We all know that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
As an absinthe drinker, I would have liked this video a lot more if they actually found an absinthe subject matter expert. No offense, but that guy doesn't know his absinthe. That croutons comment completely made this video great for me! Lol.
So is lighting the sugar cube on fire good or not? This guy just told me it ruins the flavour but then dilutes it with water??
@@Shooteronly If you burn the sugar cube, you can give it a caramel, smoky flavor tint. To be honest though it does not usually break through the strong fennel and anise flavors. Also, depending on taste, a good dilution with water is about 50/50. Not to mention, you can pour the absinthe into the glass over the sugar cubes which enables them to be burned from the alcohol content before Ice cold water is added to gain the louche. It really makes very little difference in my opinion.
Yeah, that was how I got to know it. Pour a bit absinthe over the sugar cube and burn it that way. Thanks. @@wittfox
No offense to the makers of this video, but, I am with you 100%. I've been enjoying absinthe for several years. I'm no expert, but, sadly, this video should never have been made. I suppose the makers were just having a bit of fun. They completely miss the effects of Thujone. Even after several years, I've never had more than two absinthes in one evening, so I really don't know the effects of overindulging, and I am not interested in finding out. The effects of a moderate amount are actually quite subtle, but very different from other drinks. In fact, I find that the effects are overwhelmed if I drink some other alcoholic beverage, either before or after. Absinthe does put a person in a contemplative mood, and makes for very interesting conversation. The Thujone acts on GABA receptors.
I think the burning of the sugar cube was mainly practiced in areas near the Czech Republic and has been observed to a limited extent elsewhere. The only Bohemian absinthe that I've had was Mata Hari, which tastes more like Compari than the French absinthes I've had, so maybe burning the cube works better with that flavor profile. I don't add sugar at all.
For people who really want to know more about absinthe, check out a video called "History of Absinthe." You will understand a lot more than you got from this video.
Alright buddy. Traditional absinthe is not consumed with a ignited sugar cube. That is a Czech Republic thing. In French and Swiss service you use one of these , an Absinthe Fountain,

And slowly drip water on top of a sugar cube to help take the bitterness from the absinthe down and to also dilute it. Or you can just drink the absinthe straight up, or just dilute without any sugar cube if you like the bitterness. I’ve worked at a bar in Austin that does Absinthe service and has a decent selection of imported Absinthe. Idk what the man said that wasn’t true about Absinthe?

hahaha, they talk about the uniqueness of Absinth for 8 minutes and then pour a glass of Anisée.
Are you guys serious?!?
Never believe those who say that absinthe must be diluted. The sensation of pure absinthe is one of the greatest feelings there are. The rich smell, the sharp taste, the unparalleled WARMTH coming down your throat and settling down in your stomach. And then the aftertaste kicks in, and it feels like being a small child being tucked in a warm bed.
Just drink it cold in shots. Rinse with water in a couple minutes, if the stuff is on the bitter side. But don't go any fancier, you'll miss the journey.
You guys are so fricking amazing. You got me into cigars, absinthe and more. Keep it going.
Absinthe is my drink of choice when I go out. Surprisingly its really good with a splash of orange juice, especially Pernod; no sugar cube needed. Give it a shot.
hey guys thanks for making this video, i love the stuff too (i'm even drinking it right now, and was before i saw this video released). however, there does need to be a clarification, it's not the sugar that makes it cloudy, just cold water, it's a reaction with the ingredients, and it's known as "the louche". further adendum to that point, to serve it with water is also, to louche it. and all that being said, i'm going to keep a link to this video very handy to send to people when they freakout when i say "i'm drinking absinthe".
There are some awesome classic french dishes that use pernod. It's awesome to cook with. Also fennel is the greatest, it's a vegetable, herb and spice all in one.
Oh man this was such an amazing episode. Love anything with Trevor in ot and there were so many good jabs from all of you. Would love to see Trevor teach a good egg nog.
Absinthe is in my top 3 favorite drinks.
Scotch is #1 Gin and Absinthe are tied for 2&3 Tequilla or Vodka for shots.
Best Show ever! Stay awesome guys and keep doing what you are doing, cuz you're doing everything right! Modern Rogue Lifestyle
the mild hallucinations are caused because thujone is a gaba agonist and alcohol is an antagonist so what youre doing is youre able to get the other effects of the alcohol while minimizing gaba effects and you can drink a lot more which ends with you being more awake when youre hammered. youre not hallucinating from the abisnthe but you might from the absinthe. likewise absinthe is like 85 alcohol. also copper salts are not bath salts bath salts are synthetic khat which is an african bush that contains an amphetamine analogue. likewise people also used to put other drugs primarily opium into the absinthe and people used to take nitrous while drinking laudenum and absinthe which then absolutely does result in vivid hallucinations
Y doesn't Jason drink anymore? He used to drink the drinks with brian but I cant remember the last time I saw him share these drinks with Brian
Well, in this case it's because of the licorice flavor, which is one of those things that if you hate it, you *fucking HATE* it.
Jason quit drinking I think a year or so ago.
Darkrunn Doomsday where did you hear this?
He is pregnant
@@thelocus9104 I think in one of the previous alcohol videos, maybe the one with the mead? He's not been drinking for awhile and sometimes it's been pointed out like "oh, yeah, you don't drink anymore, right"
Wormwood has hallucinogenic properties if boiled down to a tar like consistency and smoked. And it's mild at best. It also makes a fine tea that will cure a stomach ache.
Would Brian rather drink a glass of straight absinthe or a glass of soy sauce sopped up from the floor of a tent?
I just gagged
Wait, how long would it have been occupied lmao
Another fun still tale. From a friend of a friend.. Boiled off some ~85% gear (distilled ethanol). Bought some absinthe extract (shaman australis). Was awful with regular 40% vodka. But added enough to the superhootch to saturate (oil just visible on the surface). Batch prepared, did the whole sugar water milky bit. Very definitely psychoactive. Not axe murdury, but a distinct floating feeling, your not walking, but drifting. Quite like a small dose of ketamine. Very pleasant, if you like that kinda thing. But you need very strong hooch to get it in to ya. Pernod just isnt enough. N... my friend... knows his still, and what 3 shots gives. N the wormwood definitely added a something extra. Maybe its the carrier, maybe its the spike in blood alcohol that can carry the oils to the blood brain barrier. Maybe its the solubility in the source that is released with the sugar. I dunno. But i bet you Van Gough wasnt drinking govt taxed 37% stuff. I also recon he could handle his booze. What is marketed as "absinthe" today is definitely not what was drunk at the time.

I love absinthe. I can drink it straight and a small sip will make my whole body warm. Very nice.
"Why did they make it illegal"
Question for the ages.
Sidhe I had always heard it was grape farmers/wine makers who lobbied to outlaw it. The story goes there was a blight one year that lead to super low yields and thus higher prices for wine. The poorer wine drinkers couldn't afford it so they went to absinthe which was already somewhat popular amongst certain artsy groups, but when grape harvests returned to normal, they didn't go back to purchasing wine. In an effort to get their customers back, wine makers started a smear campaign against absinthe and had it made it illegal. Quite similar to the Hearst story about making cannabis illegal.
An entire episode dedicated to a most refined, misunderstood treat. Excellent.
Absinthe and baby oil is a pretty good drink
DanroccAnimated what??????
Pernod is also fantastic to cook with. It can be used to make a magnificent sauce.
It doesn’t get cloudy because of the sugar it’s bc of the water, the water should be ice cold, never burn your sugar unless you want to ruin the absinthe, it can be 3-5 parts water and sugar isn’t required.
It gets cloudy from the water mixing with the oils dissolved in the alcohol. Ouzo (and several others) does the same thing.
his absinth was ruined when he started not using absinth. He uses pastis in the video
If you get a proper absinthe glass, you don't need to measure. They often come with a reservoir in the bottom, or are at least marked in some way. Just fill up the reservoir or to the line and you're good to go.
Dripping water through a sugar cube is the genuine, traditional method. The method where you soak the sugar cube in absinthe and then set it on fire is an "edgy" method devised when the stuff was largely illegal, and ends up imparting a slight burnt sugar taste to the end product.
If you want to hallucinate you have to use a different kind of sugar cube. ; )
Splenda
When I was in the bar business in Waco around 2002??, I might have ordered ten bottles a month for 13 months from someone in either NV or AZ. The stuff I ordered, I think, was made in Switzerland with thujone and shipped as a clear (not green) liquid across the Swiss border into France and shipped from there. I don't know why this was the case, but it had to do with looking unlike absinthe. It was expensive, about $200 per bottle, because of the lower alcohol content and higher thujone content. I don't drink anymore for health reasons, but I think about the green fairy often :)
I tried an absinthe mule, in my head it does not work, but it did. Absinthe and ginger beer is fantastic
Gaute J.H that's sounds amazing

Murphy is very adult and handles himself while Brian always acts like a kid 😂
Can't say for US, but in the UK, while MOST liqueurs are under 30% abv. It's actually the amount of sugar in the spirit. So you can get a liqueur that is 40% up.
"I thought those were croutons." :D
When I was in middle school, I remember I found some nudie mags from the 90s in the bathroom at my grandma's house (my uncle lived with them, and it was the bathroom closest to his room), and one of them had an article about absinthe. It talked about how the writer went and found some dudes who had bootleg or illegally imported absinthe or something, and how it made him all crazy for a day and he woke up with a hangover so bad he couldn't see out of one eye.
When you watch the ad for extra modern rogue content but you dont like the actual product.
Freaking finally, Brian! Took you long enough :D Well done!
me gonna turn 21 in a couple weeks: I'm on board
In my opinion, absinthe is best straight, but ice cold. It also works well as a mixer with specific drinks...my favorite drink to mix with it is nocino (black walnut liqueur). It also mixes well with cinnamon schnapps.
ok... next I want to know about Rum. And Gin. Please and thanks. I'll be here... just waiting.... dont mind me. Really. I'll wait.
Since he used Pastis instead of Absinth in this video do you want them to also use Vodka instead of Gin in the Gin video?
I really want to see Brian and Murphy dressed to the nines in a future episode - the whole flared cuffs and ruffles and incense thing would be an amusing segment for them to do. Absinthe optional (because Murphy doesn't really drink anymore as I recall).
They kinda predicted NFTS and they were right.
