All I want for Christmas is a bottle of absinthe

Since Ana has politely informed me that there will be no gadget gifts purchased for me this year — by her or anyone else — I’ve now come up with an alternative gift idea: Absinthe.

But not just any absinthe. I’m looking for one made in depths of the Northeast Philly.

Yes, it’s true, according to Philly mag, Philadelphia Distilling is hard at work on a variety of absinthe due to go on sale in time for the holidays. It’ll be called Vieux Carré Absinthe Superieure and cost $55.

Presumably, it’ll be available later this month, right about the moment the auto business goes under, the newspapers declare bankruptcy, and I really, really need a hallucinogenic drink.

Merry Christmas!
