A very strange film showing two well known folks apparently off their rockers after drinking Czech absinth in a Prague bar. It is titled “Happy Hour Absinthe in Prague”
What I’m drinking…
Whenever I can get hold of it, I drink the ever so...
Hard to get and pricey, but definitely worth it. Not only does Century contain a massive amount of the all-important thujone, it is also one of the best-tasting absinthes I have ever had - a rare combination!

I really like this one! Much more affordable than Century, my all-time favourite, but still very, very good. Maktub is the party spirit from the jazz age with a clean, fresh taste and plenty of buzz. Recommended.

Perhaps the only fault of Doubs Mystique is its relatively low thujone content -- so don't expect to dance with the Fairy :-) But if you drink absinthe for the taste alone, you will not be disappointed.

I confess. Yes, Absinthium 1792 is a rather cheap, artificially coloured oil mix, but I still like the taste and do drink it from time to time. Louches nicely, which is not at all usual for an absinthe of this class.

L' Absinthe Rend Fou 
Who knew there was so much about Absinthe. I still have yet to drink it. I will certainly do my research through your blog before I choose to take part in all its goodness!
Ahoj Lele 🙂
The best Czech ones in my opinion are:
1. Tolouse Lautrec (a clear blanche) from Cami
2. Bairnsfather Reality -herbal and natural flavour
3. Absinthium 1792 -anise and sweet/ nice louche
Not in any particluar order as they are all different. Watch out for buying them in the centre as the prices vary…if the shop is near the “stag party circuit” you’ll pay more. I am thinking of providing a list of shops which offer the best value.
There is even an Absinth Bar http://www.absinthe-time.cz/
Hope you are enjoying Praha.
