Absinthe in LA

Absinthe, a green licorice flavored liqueur, was legalized in the US more than a year ago, and more and more bars are offering either straight absinthe or absinthe cocktails.

One of my favorite is the drink below from The Edison Bar in downtown.Pisco Punch - contains Pisco (a grape-based liquor from Peru), pineapple juice, and a dash of absinthe (which they like to call "the green fairy")
Delicious!
Not cheap at $14 but the bartenders at the Edison know how to mix drinks!
