Pour the Absente liqueur (legal to import), granulated sugar, and 20 drops (approx 1/2 tsp) liquid wormwood extract (available from many health food stores -- Herb Pharm is a good choice) into a shaker with ice. Shake well, strain into an old-fashioned glass, and serve.

Absinthe Olde-style Recipe Information

This is as close to the original Absinthe as you can get. Absente is very similar, but substitutes "Southern Wormwood" -- which is thujone free -- so it can be sold legally anywhere. Wormwood extract is safe in moderation, and is also legal. Mixing with ice and sugar produces a proper "louche", as per the original preparation method, which entailed pouring iced water over sugar cubes set on a slotted spoon balanced over one's glass of Absinthe -- the shaker method works better, and is less complex.
