I am currently sipping Douglas Fir eau de vie* mixed with elderflower liqueur (St. Germain), thinned with a little water. The eau de vie is green (naturally green, that is) and the liqueur is pale gold; the water made the mixture "louche" a little, so the overall visual effect is like a weak absinthe. It tastes, well, sort of like you might think: herbal, sweet, and flowery. All things considered, I feel kind of like I am having a more-fey-than-thou moment.

The eau de vie was a pricey gamble which fortunately turned out not to be basically upscale PineSol, as I feared it might. It does have that piney-fresh sort of evergreen flavour, but it's subtle and it doesn't assault your eyes and sinuses like the vaguely similiar flavours in gin. (Not that I dislike gin, but it doesn't play well with many others.)


* Most elvish-sounding distilled spirit evar or what?

Hanging around ontd_startrek is totally MELTENG MAH BRAINZ. Note to self: No matter how much the idea is making you giggle at ~1:30 AM, it's almost certain that no one will appreciate it if you post this gif as a review on any of that Harry Potter pr0n you see on your flist every day occasionally happen to come across:



(well... maybe hp_wankfest.)
