Interesting article on small-scale booze making: http://newyork.grubs..._turn_into.html

I picked up a bottle of the Boyd & Blair vodka today, easily one of my top 3 vodkas, might be my favorite by the time I polish off the bottle. I had to go "all the way" up to Astor Place to get it, but definitely worth it.

How can you make Absinthe without wormwood, or whatever the ingredient was that made is slightly psychedelic? Isn't that kind of like drinking a virgin margarita?

Shrug, their website lists wormwood as one of the ingredients "Many consider this the most traditional of my absinthes. The core six herbs are grand wormwood, anise, fennel, roman wormwood, hyssp, and lemon balm. The seventh herb is lemon thyme. You can find reviews at theWormwood Society. F. Paul Pacult in the September 2009 issue of Spirits Journal rated Walton Waters "Recommended"."


Whatever they're putting in it, this lady looks like she knows her absinthe (notice the absence of the right ear):
