Adventures in Absinthe Part II

So I've received another absinthe kit in the mail and this time I'm prepared. On my last trip to Oregon to visit my friend ("Oregon-B"), I picked up a couple huge bottles of Everclear, the required 1 of 2 ingredients (the other being Vodka) to make this potent stuff.

Although I am optimistic that I'm making it with higher quality booze this time, I'm sure it'll still taste like tree-ass. Only this time it'll be more potent tree-ass. The painful thing is that it has a light hint of licorice and mint. Very deceiving to smell then taste.
