Absinthe & Science

[funranium]

I went to the St. George Distillery's release party for their second batch of absinthe, which they made on my birthday last year.  See here for photo documentation.

I just feel it necessary to show the new booze and a sampling of the new Scientific Drinking (TM) apparati now gracing my kitchen.  Behold!



The 2L separatory funnel (in the background behind the three bottles of absinthe) puts any conventional cocktail shaker to shame.  I invite you to seek elonwy_h and wookieluvin for testimonials about this fully operational glassware battlestation's effect on unsuspecting livers.

Also, a close up of the label for you:


Finally, all alcohol is improved by consuming it from an Erlenmeyer flask; I have them available in sizes from 20mL to 4L.  50mL of absinthe, 20mL are already gone.



Happy Friday.

Does that label feature a picture of a marmot...with a cowbell coming out of its head...holding a bone? Because that would be the most disturbing thing I've seen this week. Really.

No, I think it's just a monkey holding the two itmes. Though you've given me an interesting idea... *makes for the bio-engineering lab*

Even green absinthe monkeys know that the world needs more cowbell.

This is an acceptable excuse for not showing up to FNW. As for a testimonial on the effect of the new pretties... there was a moment where I forgot I had legs, and then discovered there was a floor in your kitchen. *thud*

Someone in Provost's lab attached handles to 500 mL and 1 L graduated cylinders for the drinking of alcohol. I think this is a splendid plan.

I totally want your separatory funnel. That totally sounds sexual.

That totally does.

In the realm of misapplied lab/drinkware I can do you one better. Attach a handle to a 1.5L dewar flask. Best goddamn beer stein EVAR.
