ABSINTHE

(When the customer asks for Absinthe without specifying any particular style of service).

Pour one pony of Absinthe into large Bar glass and let ice cold water drip from the Absinthe glass into Bar glass until full. The Absinthe glass has a hole in the center. By filling the bowl of the Absinthe glass partly with Shaved Ice, and the rest with water, the water will be ice cold as it drops from the Absinthe glass.

"Holy Cow, Absinthe. isn't this stuff illegal? Can it be purchased in the US?"

Yes. It can!
