It is another beautiful day here in Portland and it is almost 2pm. You know what that means? Time to drink some absinthe! "Absinthe is just too strong for me (wimpy voice). Can't I mix it with anything?" Well if you are a gigantic sissy you can mix it but to us self-respecting folk that would be blasphemous. Since this site is geared towards you, the huge baby, we will mix it but just this once. Let's begin:
Muddle some sugar, lemon slices, and lime slices. Add your mint and gently bruise it. Add two to three shots of absinthe and a little water. Shake and strain.
Garnish with a mint sprig and both a lemon and lime wheel. "Where can I buy absinthe? Isn't it illegal?" Uh, try the liquor store genius. Although absinthe has been illegal since ~1912, the FDA recently approved it. Here in Oregon
micro-distilleries make a killer product but elsewhere your best bet is to pick up an import from France (shudder).

Sounds easy enough to make.
You can also use Vodka if you can't handle the green fairy, sissy.
