I *ahem* loveeeee the stuff! Did the research and tried ALL of the so called Absinthe's that are sold in the US - yes, ALL OF THEM.... and decided that we could make better "stuff" without the loss of $$$$ and with the feel of the green fairy pecking us on our shoulders! IF you're a newb/noob buyer and you're sitting on the fence between buying from Absinthekit.com or one of them high priced so called absinthe.com, please re re re consider making your own, you won't be dissatisfied. ***PLUS*** you can always buy here and buy there and compare (if you're a sucker for punishment!!)
