Apothéke looks interesting — if more than a little pretentious — and is supposedly opening today. Will have to get down there sometime soon and check the place out.
This interview with Albert Trummer, though, makes me wonder a bit — absinthe is properly distilled, rather than just infusing botanicals and herbs into anisette. (Reminiscent of those dippy "make-your-own-absinthe" kits you used to see online, where they’d tell you to soak wormwood in Pernod (or worse, grain alcohol) and presto: faux absinthe that was unspeakably vile.) And I’m not quite sure what he means by "normally you pour the water tower into the absinthe." Guess I’ll just have to find out when I get there.
