What in the world?

I probably poured it
-
Reminds me of the Manhattan they made me at Aggie Station (I think it was): dry vermouth and garnished with an orange slice. Obviously only the best bartenders there.
-
I probably poured it
likely - the waitress didn't know what a Manhattan was so the order became "Jack Daniels and sweet vermouth on the rocks with a slice of lemon" and I am guessing she dropped the sweet or it didn't exist in that pill box of bar

i ordered a grasshopper from jeff at luckys once, I had no idea
but he made it

Was this pre-fattyfest like 3(?) years ago?

Ya, I bitched about it then too. I think they gave me a well whiskey too.

I generally pride myself on being able to discern if I'm in a bar that is capable of making the drink I want.

Yes, it should usually be pretty obvious. Order canned beer at the Lou, wells (two ingredient drinks) at Kites, Kaws, etc. and leave the cocktails for places like Mae's or HiLo. Sometimes places will disappoint though. For example, I love the Green Lady Lounge but their cocktails are trash and they really shouldn't be.

That's a pretty broad statement about the lady waks

I think Green Lady makes decent drinks, not out of this world, but they’re certainly not trash, IMO
-

crap vermouth that they don't keep chilled, shaken cocktails that should be stirred. Just because they have classic cocktails on their menu doesn't mean that they execute them well. When they nail everything else so well it's disappointing that they fall so short here.

It's been legal in the US since 2007.

Ok. I had it in 2005, before it was legal in the US. It doesn’t make you hallucinate or see green fairy’s. I tried it but didn’t drink a ton of it. It’s legal here now. Did I cover everything or do we need to keep talking about this?
-
a friend and i made absinthe from a kit. it was terrible
-
Testy Westy and I got absolutely blitzed on some that he brought back from Europe ten years ago. I've had some the traditional way in small quantities that weren't too bad but it's not something I would drink very often. It's good for cocktails though.
-
The reason absinthe was said to cause hallucinations was not due to the wormwood (or magic mushrooms, as the astute and worldly TBT asserts in a very lol-worthy moment). It was from contamination due to unsanitary storage conditions. But I think we are all impressed that TBT has had "real" absinthe.

Choo's been drinkin absinthe long before anyone paid him to do it...

Actually it’s not from unsanitary conditions you dumbass. It’s from a chemical called thujone which comes from the wormwood. I’m not surprised in the least you are wrong you pompous prick.

https://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/absinthe.htm
The levels of Thujone are widely accepted to be well below the level necessary to be symptomatic. And even if you ingested a toxic level, it would not be a pleasant experience. But before you got to that point, you would likely be dead from alcohol poisoning. Unsafe storage and toxic adulterants likely explain the exaggerated claims of hallucinations from 19th century commentators. Also, lol at you.

I'll keep my shrooms and booze separate thank you very much.

I sometimes like to dip a portabella into my pils.

Instead of providing a link as supporting evidence you post conjecture. That just validated my point and shows how much of a pretentious response your post was to begin with. Maybe post about how the laws were applied to absinthe cases to make yourself feel better.

Gets me super mumped up.

It was an embarrassing moment for you. My professional advice would be to acknowledge it quietly and move on. But since you haven't done that, :lol:

It's clear TBT didn't read the link he posted.

more like the opposite. they have it ready before you are even done paying.
unless your point is large instead of venti or whatever. I always say large and they always give me the largest one. I'm not going to say their made up names and they seem fine with it.

Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large

i only order lemonade at starbucks but just tell them to give me the biggest one they have. would rather sepaku myself before using their stupid naming size names like venti or wtfever
