I’m weighing the pros of cons of buying a bottle of absinthe this weekend. On the pro side are the fact that I’ve always wanted to try it, its fairly recent legality in the United States and that a drink involving the use of a slotted spoon and sugar cube appeals to me for some reason. On the con side is that it is $60 a bottle minimum. Decisions, decisions.

In the meantime, here are some absinthe inspired products.
