    The first time I saw those miniature mason jar shot glasses, I knew I had to have some. They weren't easy to find made from actual glass. Most were plastic or had handles or had some kind of design on them - they weren't authentic "mason jars", in my opinion. I finally found them - just what I was looking for. They're not your standard shot glass size - they hold 3 oz (twice a regulation shot). They're good for sipping late at night while I watch these awesome Moonshiners videos.

She experimented in an organized manner on the fly with a good blanche absinthe base, he tried to get weird with a faulty base and failed. Don't be a hero and color outside of the lines with traditional absinthe recipes. At least not too far IMHO.

    I have been making absinthe for over 20 years.. It is not just about colour. The taste is fickle as hell, because you are using super-strong tasting herbs, the trick being to make them cancel each other out. Anise is important for dampening the taste of wormwood, which is supposed to be abundant. Coriander, fennel and isop all gives the distinct taste profile. The concoction they are using here would not fly as absinthe in my book. You need to make actual tictures, not just dip the herbs
