So I figured I'd dredge this old thread up...have any of you Americans tried Absinthe? Seems to be the Europeans amongst us have, and recommend it, and I've heard it's not legal here...some research shows a lifting of the ban in Switzerland, but I never thought we'd HAVE a liquor that was illegal!
Pernod seems to be either the American version of it, or the closest replica we can get. Can anyone vouch for it, and I've heard there's a "system" to drinking it. That should interest the OCD amongst us, as well.
For the really adventurous, a page on making your own and different drinks to try

It's a tawny Port wine called Benjamin Port. It's very sweet, meant to be sipped at room temperature, after dinner. It's relatively cheap ($12/bottle), imported from Australia, and rivals some of the best from Portugal (The origin of Port wine). The nose is like a whiskey, and the initial flavor seems like it'll be just as harsh. It isn't. The aftertaste is amazing. If you can handle the sweet stuff, then I guarantee you'll keep a bottle stocked for yourself and one for guests.

Bah...went to the store the other night looking for this, but couldn't remember the name of it. Glad this thread was bumped!
