Will This Absinthe Make Digger See The Green Fairy? | Moonshiners: Master Distiller

[@williamgray1221]

[@RJ-wx3fh]

@@Ramzey44 I would say that they've been actors since they've been on discovery, at least. I don't doubt they may have started illegally, but I don't know how long they've been legit and licensed - not selling out as they're still skilled old school artisans in their product , but I'd say maybe playing up their outlaw roots a little for TV these days

I am sooooo happy that they drink the absynth the way it's supposed to be drunk, with the ice water fountain.

[@orion7741]

except that they didnt get it right though..... you are supposed to let the ice water have a very slow drip that is over a sugar cube and disolves the sugar cube slowly and drips down into the absynth. without the sugar cube, it is totally wrong.

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.

[@irinasophia88]

[@dannygjk]

@@irinasophia88 I got one years ago in a liquor store when I bought a bottle of Jim Beam. It was attached to the neck of the bottle but the little mason jar didn't have a cap. I still have it. I bet though you can order them online.

[@jomorkenstrseth3526]

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

[@alexmcdowell8868]

Yes also isn't the wormwood is supposed to be like LSD

[@jomorkenstrseth3526]

@@alexmcdowell8868 Wormwood alas has no real psychoactive effects, but can be somewhat stimulating.The big effect was from the much higher alcohol content (70%) Personally I have made versions containing cannabis, mushrooms and even opium. Those absinths did work very much psychoactive.

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

@@jomorkenstrseth3526 I'd love to get my hands on some mushroom absinthe!!! Man, you got my mouth watering. I can't find it anywhere that regular moonshine can be had. I'm from Tennessee so I've got good quality shine, no absinthe I'm afraid.

[@518goeshard420]

Bro start making KZbin videos making it I’d watch sounds fascinating

[@dannygjk]

@@jomorkenstrseth3526 Wormwood oil does affect the brain a lot - not just how you feel but also causes interesting visual effects not full blown hallucinations tho. That's just from the legal absinthe I drink now and then so I imagine the effects will be even stronger if you drink a traditional recipe.

You can tell who was going to win as soon as the guy said "dill" and "no heat" for coloring (even though I haven't seen the front end of the episode). 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.
