Did you know that Johnny Depp and Marilyn Manson like nothing better than to chew the fat over a glass of absinthe? Marilyn Manson explains: “…John Galliano said I was one of the true great pirates, and I told Johnny that. So it’s like me, Johnny and Cap’n Crunch. I have hung out with Jack Sparrow, because Johnny is Jack Sparrow. We drink absinthe, that’s what we do.”

Outkast are big new fans of ours. We sent them some bottles of Sebor Absinth ^TM during their tour in the UK this summer and they couldn’t get enough. The Feeling were also spotted consuming a suspicious, emerald green substance in Barcelona – proof that absinthe still is the preferred muse of the artists. There’s also a rumour flying around that Sebor Absinth ^TM is the only thing Caprice will drink these days – when pressed we say “no comment”.

This is a classic, here in perfect form as it was designed especially for Sebor Absinth ^TM by the World Champion Bartender Jamie Stephenson. Check out more great recipes in the Cocktail section of www.seborabsinth.com.
