Epicurious Reviews Marilyn Manson's Mansinthe

Epicurious Reviews Marilyn Manson's Mansinthe

Not as dirty as it sounds. You must remember Manson's special 66.6% signature absinthe. We dance with the green fairy every weekend (and occasionally on weeknights), but the folks at Epicurious have just gotten around to taste testing the stuff. Their conclusion? "The aroma, which some verbally compared to sewage water or swamp mud ... wasn't really worth wading through ... to get to mediocre flavor." Oh well, not everyone likes swallowing Marilyn's wormwood.

I had a sip of absthine once and it took about a week for me to get over that one sip!

I know it's a typo, but that would put it around the same strength as many beers.

It actually says 66.6 not 6.66... I would say def stronger than any beer...

You're right, Patrick. That's what we get for drinking Mansinthe on the job. Fixed.
