Absinthe or absinth, not too popular at the moment because of the bans due to the mythic belief of it being a mind altering substance, is highly underrated I believe.
Toulouse Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh were some famous artists that popularized this notion.
This fantastic alcohol is created using herbs, including Artemisia Absinthium (its main component), also commonly referred to as Grande Wormwood, blended together with green anise and sweet fennel.
It is an anise-flavoured spirit, and tastes something like a stronger version of Ouzo (a popular Greek Spirit). It contains a higher than average alcohol content which is generally 45-75% and is more than enough to give an edge to any occasion.
My personal favourite is La Fee Absinthe, a bohemian absinthe which is commonly available at the Suvarnabhumi (Bangkok International) airport. Not only is it moderately priced, it is available in 70% and 40 % (alcoholic potency) the last time I checked. Generally mixed with sugar and iced water, it also tastes good on the rocks if you can stomach it.
My advice hot tub/steam room/swimming pool + absinthe = short intense party. (Tested and tried)
