Salutations, Sorry for my late return to this topic... Some amazing information I have learned thanks to these posts from Hiram, MaxH & slkinsey. Allow me to comment to Hiram (great posts!) Regarding Absinto Camargo - it is really a 'liqueur' - no where on the bottle is it refered to as Absinthe. I refer to it as an Absinthe type product. For consumer's we call it a Brazilian Absinthe - I stand corrected in purity. Absinto Camargo has a product available in Brazil and Europe (different label & btl) that is made with artemesia absinthium. We had to change the product for the American market (it still took me 9 month to get approvals to import), the changes to the original product are few, with the addition of mint, coloring (to make it more vibrant) and sugar content. And, no one 'trips' from Thujone - you are all correct - not that some people have not tried... I am sorry that you think my tag line in the web site is tired. Sex, sells - Drugs, can be useful (not illegal, ofcourse) - and creativity, is essential... I think I will keep it for now. Plus, I am targeting top mixologists and consumers 25-35. I want them to have fun with the product... The makers of Absinto Camargo and myself have worked hard to bring a superior liqueur to the market. It brings a great twist to cocktails - you must be carefull to drink it straight or over the ice, very strong... After all this thinking - I need an amazing cocktail, try these: THE GREEN FAIRY By John Mautone - Dylan Prime, NY www.dylanprime.com 1 1/2 oz Absinto Camargo 2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur 1 oz fresh lime juice 1/2 pineapple juice 1/2 oz simple syrup 1 oz Johnny Walker Black Combine ingredients in a shaker, shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass OR GREEN FAIRY MOJITO Jacques Bezuidenhout, San Francisco, California 1 1/2 oz Beleza Pura Super Premium Cachaça 1 oz Absinto Camargo 8-10 mint leaves Juice of a whole lime. simple syrup Splash of soda Muddle mint, lime juice and simple syrup. Add Beleza Pura and Absinto. Add a rocks glass full of crushed ice. Stir and add soda. Serve in a tall glass. Garnish with a mint sprig. I wish you all Absinthium dreams (sorry I missed the tasting w/slkinsey&pals)
