Hello all, I am writing this review because I had never tried Absinth until about a month ago I bought my first bottle of Lucid, I have to say the flavor is really good not many drinks give you the sensation of just brushing your teeth after drinking it. Although some of my friends thought it was a very strong taste you get use to it. I wasn’t a big fan of black licorice but that’s not all Lucid has to offer for one after the first drink you’ll know why its my new favorite drink its a feeling you get almost like your happy for no reason and its not the drunk feeling I know that feeling and its not that it something else. Don’t over do it this stuff is no joke.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem, but Lucid was the first Absinthe I tried. Had it the first two days after opening the bottle, and it tasted amazing. The taste of it changed as it was in your mouth, so that it flowed from the taste of herbs to a final taste of licorice at the end (might have been the other way, has been a few weeks.)

Later got another bottle, Grande Absinthe, which did not have as much of a distinct taste, but had a more general taste that was rather good. Drank that the rest of the week or so, not too bad tasting.

The issue with Lucid came when I went back to it after finishing the other one. The smell of the Lucid absinthe had changed, and then the taste was pretty horrendous. Tried it the next day to see if the flavor just wasn’t mixing with what I had for dinner, but it was still awful. The only things that had changed from the two times trying it, was the week and a half in between and different sugar.

Not sure which thing caused the issue; time opened, sugar, or maybe refrigeration is required but not mentioned after opening. But this could be the issue people are experiencing where they say it tastes like crap. I might try Lucid one more time, but if the same issue happens with the next bottle I will stick with Grande Absinthe as it had no such issue.

I just bought a bottle of this spirit before crossing the border to Canada. I’ve heard about absinthe and never tried it. Pouring it over the sugarcube and lighting it up before pouring the ice cold water seems like the way to go (from what I’ve read and heard). Any recommendations before I try the first sip? I’m also aware not to overwater the drink by dripping just enough water to “louche” it completely.. results to follow.

Does anyone know where I can get the glasses that came with the set? I accidentally broke one and would like to replace it. I am looking for the short glasses (must actually say Lucid on it). My boyfriend and I picked the set up one our one month anniversary and have been having one glass every month on our anniversary for the last year. I really want to find a replacement glass. Thanks for any help

I am going to buy it today, I live in the border and we have a duty free shop that sells it for 48 bucks, for that price I’ll give it a try

i recently bought a bottle of lucid (my first bottle of absinthe) and i see nothing wrong with it. good effects such as energy, creativity, deep thought, and of course a bit of drunkenness were prominent. it does indeed have wormwood (according to the bottle- “a full serving of grande wormwood”.) as far as im concerned, the drink was very unique and i didnt mind it after a few sips. perhaps one would call it an acquired taste. if not, everyone likes different things. its not lucid’s fault that one doesnt like it. and im quite sick of all of the absinthe snobs who stick their noses up in the air if you dont drink the most expensive bottles on the market, which in general, americans cant get their hands on in the first place without the risk of getting ripped off. when i get the opportunity to try something better in the states, sure i will. but at this point i dont believe (at least in my area) that theres too much to choose from, and based upon countless unbiased reviews which i have read through, its one of the best attainable absinthes in the states. but hey, whenever someone feels like dropping by my house with a $200 bottle of absinthe for me to test, id be happy to do just that. it is almost christmass, you know. but i guess until then im stuck with my lucid !

This was the first absinthe I tried, the first time I tried it I think I used too much water, however after trying it after lighting the sugar apposed to just dripping I like it a lot more, gives you a great high
