He soaks his cube in Brandy,
Keeping his special spoon handy.
Then Flames upon flames,
Igniting the cube is a dandy.
A drink for the fiend
Tis Bohemian Green,
The chalice, The Glass, the tincture.
Sugar cube in,
The louche begins
And the fairy swims in the nectar.
Drink if you dare to be merry,
Nothing like sipping a Sherry.
For when you cook the Absynthe right
You’ll be a fool of the Faerie.
I've had more than one bout

that rascal...
shoulda made it yourself
(see above)
He put something in my head
He put something in my head that's for sure. I'd never made such a thing. He manifested dark things in my reality.

Huachuma sounds like a spirit journey I would prefer in an sacred setting.

Wow, not a hallucinogen-tested and disproven. High alcohol content 70-150 proof - mixed with water for a reason, sugar enhances flavor. If not green may be amber and okay. The green goddess has been in, then out, and now is legal again - lots of would be concoctions out there with the name, but there is a recipe, a process of aging, distilling is a must!. Apparently, the firing is not a part of the original drink, a fad; the iced water creates the densing or clouding to a lighter green of the drink (La Louche). The spoons are absolutely artistic. Still a tea sipper. :D slc
