Marilyn Manson’s New Death Drink
“ab·sinthe   [ab-sinth]
–noun 1. a green, aromatic liqueur that is 68 percent alcohol, is made with wormwood and other herbs, and has a bitter, licorice flavor: now banned in most Western countries due to its toxicity ”“Marylin MansonÂ
–noun 1. some really creepy looking guy who makes some pretty decent music - also known for his badass art.”
 With me so far?
Absinthe is NOT banned in the EU (European Union). The US is being wusses with this because it’s kinda like those blowfish they cook in Japan; you can drink it but it has to be done just right to be non-toxic. But with that high of an alcohol percentage, a lightweight like me should be much more worried about alcohol poisoning than anything else in the damn drink.
Manson has created his own take on this drink called “Mansinthe” thats already available in countries like Sweden (and for order online). What’s cool is that he was involved in the entire development process , testing different mixes etc - NOT just throwing his name on some random product.
You should see the stuff - its this really neon green color. They have a few pictures on the official site: http://www.mansinthe.com/ They keep a blog there too for updates on whats happening.
