Would have been interesting if you would have just briefly mentioned the rules proposed by Switzerland, or how Absinth was traditionally made :)

I love that @8:46 literally the guy is passing by, notices Honest Guide, gets offered candy, asks "What is Absinthe?" And then he is just left alone on the street to wonder what even just happened. 😅

For those who don't know, the sweets Hašlerky are made from the herb Licorice, so Absinth tastes like Licorice candy

I love watching this on the off chance I go to the Czech Republic. Probably won't ever happen, but it's good to be prepared.

If you are in Europe to try the real Absinthe, you have to go to the Val de Travers in Switzerland. (A very rural, but beautiful area of Switzerland)

Compliments! you have described very well the situation in Prague (but in the whole world, except Switzerland).
We remind also in Prague there are few (very few) specialized bars that serve authentic absinthe

Hello there !
Im from Argentina i visited the czech republic twice, and planning the third one for the next year.
All your videos made me realise that i miss so much of Prague ! Thanks you so much !

Okay, here's a definition: "Absinthe is made by redistilling neutral alcohol with botanicals—the 'holy trinity' is wormwood, anise, and fennel—to create a concentrated, high-proof spirit. Other ingredients that are commonly added include hyssop, melissa, star anise, and lemon balm. Producers then reinfuse the spirit with more of these botanicals to give it its characteristic green hue (sometimes producers skip this step, which results in 'white' absinthe)".
Also, fun fact: in the 19th century, absinthe was called the Green Fairy ("zelená víla" in Czech; hence the one in the painting at 9:10 ) because of its green color and the supposed hallucinogenic effects of thujone (usually present in wormwood), which is present in the spirit in trace amounts (so it is unlikely to be responsible for absinthe's alleged stimulant and psychoactive effects).

The hallucination from traditional absinthe came from the wormwood. The ingredient is called thujone. I've never heard of chlorine being brought up as an answer

IT won't make you hallucinate, but absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

There is an absinthe bar in Prague centre, I had to seek it out, it's called Absintherie Jilska, they sold absinthe from Switzerland and France, it wasn't cheap but it seemed genuine
12 |
I come from Val-de-Travers and I feel so bad about these fake absinthes, the fact that Absinthe is not protected is a disaster for the real ones. Unfortunately we face the same situation with our swiss cheeses from Switzerland (Gruyère, Emmental and so on).
54 |
For that reason, the best alchohol that you can bring from Czechia is Becherovka or Slivovice.

I will say that when I go to Prague, the only spot that I really enjoyed visiting for absinthe was Hemingway Bar near Charles Bridge! It's very small and a little bit touristy, but they used many true absinthe options in their cocktails and pointed me in the direction of some very good Czech absinthe

I love your videos , keep it up 😍😍

absolutely loved our visit to the absytherie or whatever it's called - lovely little bar and experience. NOT cheap though :D

My American friend went to Prague for the first time last week and she posted a picture from an absinthe bar. I was disappointed on behalf of Honest Guide.

When I was in Prague, I was able to find a real absinthe bar in the old town district, it's called Green devil's absinthe bar. I had an amazing time over there and the guy serving absinthe knew a lot about it.

The real Absinth comes from the Val De Travers in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland.
And you drink it by put in a class then you take Absinth spoon put a piece of sugar and
on that spoon. After that you let ice cold water slowly run over the sugar in to the Absinth.
During this the Absinth wil change the colour from green to milky white.

I would maybe add two minutes to this video explaining what the Absinthe actually is - you had a friend there, why not ask him? Or do some research where to get the "real" one? There are breweries in the CZ and I would bet there is at least a couple of stores in Prague selling it.
