ive been to a few absinthe parties and have tasted about a dozen different kinds and i can tell you that the "Lucid" brand tastes very much like the stuff infused with wormwood, even had some while i was in Romania where the real deal is legal to sell. You can buy it online, but its disguised as "antique bottles" to get thru customs. The wormwood gives a very odd sensation of lucidity, hence the reason they call the american brand "Lucid". If you have a credit card, you can order some and dispute the charges if things go south, but there are a few sites that many of my friends have used with a 100% (that i know of) success rate. Use the sugar cube and bater method for a nice sippable drink and if youre not averse to the anise flavor from Jagermiester, then youll be all over this stuff.
Ive had this stuff a few times and its the shizz NOUVELLE-ORLEANS ABSINTHE SUPERIEURE
its the 7th one down in this list that says these are legal to purchase in the US
