I'm not sure about the measurements but I believe you put 1 oz Absinthe in a glass.

Put sugar on a slotted spoon above glass.

Pour some ice water through the slotted spoon into the absinthe.

The cold water turns the green absinthe white.

Enjoy.

As a compliment to other liquors in a cocktail.

Don't drink absinthe. It is a wormwood flavored liqueur that sucks arse. If you're looking to have a hallucinatory experience, you'll be sorry. Thujone is not a hallucinogenic

Buy a small bottle of really good absinthe (St. George) to use in a Sazerac. Follow these instructions down to the brand and thank me later:

2 ounces Old Overholt rye whiskey
1.5 ounces simple syrup
4 dashes of Peychauds bitters

Muddle (stir) these ingredients in a bowl for a minute to release aromatics.

Pour a little absinthe into a chilled glass. Coat the inside of the glass with absinthe by rotating it in your hand. It's called giving the glass an absinthe wash. Pour excess absinthe back into bottle.

Now pour in your muddled rye whiskey mixture. Drop a lemon peel into your mixture and add one or two ice cubes.

Perfection. Enjoy.

Sugar cubes. Get a slotted sugar spoon and put a couple of cubes of sugar on it and pour your absinthe over the sugar and into your cup. It will still be strong as frick but a heck of a lot easier to drink.
