Is Mata Hari absinthe actually made in USA?

Yaknow, this is the first absinthe I tried and didn’t even know about the sugar thing. Took it straight in a shot, and was one of the best shots I’ve ever taken. Lol. The bitterness did not bother me one bit, only the slight burn, but that’s expected with 120 proof haha

Just tried this one too. My first Absinthe. Didn’t expect it to be so bitter. Added some sugar and Pepsi. Didn’t mind it after that. Haven’t tried water yet, still on my first glass.

After experimentation this one is better served mixed. I don’t like it traditional, and the label on the back of the bottle states that it should be served as a coctail. I cut the bitterness out by louching it with Red Bull and a cap or two of Creme de Menthe, and it was good like that. As an Absinthe I would rate it thumbs down.

Just tried this one. On my second glass. The bitterness that you’re tasting in this one is wormwood. I’m not an “expert” but, the wormwood is what is contributing to the bitter taste of this one. My first louche was with 1 sugar, 2 to 1 water absinthe. That’s when I realized this one is better served with 2 sugar cubes to cut through the wormwood. However, it is in my opinion, thin on the palate, which is probalby due to a low concentration of anise/fennel. At least it’s not completly medicinal. Overall I like the “experience”, and it actually louches fast.

Yeah that is what the spoon is for. It’s actually a cool process.

isn’t that what the absinthe spoon is for? Putting the sugar cube on it and melting it into the absinthe by pouring water on top of it. Seems like so much fun to mix!
