While on my recent trip, we ordered up Absinthe at the bar inside La Amistad. This drink is normally prepared using a sugar cube. Asta did not have any sugar cubes and was ad libbing using granular sugar. She made a decent drink out of it but was frustated that they were not able to find sugar cubes in Costa Rica. We promised to post on the board and ask that someone bring her some sugar cubes from the States.

If anyone is going down and would like to help her out, I am sure she would very grateful!

I'm there next Friday unless someone pops in before then.

Anything for Asta!!

Thanks for following up. If you have never had Absinthe, you should try it. It is a crazy drink. It was banned in the US for many years.

Here is a video of how it is prepared: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40k7SkXi3Rc

I as well will bring Asta a box of cubes
She will have by next Tuesday
Glad I don't like anise.. that drink looks intoxicating
How much does she want???? no need of her getting 50 boxes at once

I would bring or two boxes

I'll be there next Thursday, so I'll bring her ONE box

At this rate she's going to end up with 15 boxes for a drink she might prepare once or twice a week.

When I read the title of this thread I thought there would be at least a sexual connotation. Imagine my disapointment.

I started a thread about the 'green fairy' (absinthe) in October of 2005. Check it out. Just search for 'fairy'.
