Hi my name's Allen for Expert Village, and today I'm going to discuss the controversial and banned alcohol, commonly known as Absinthe. And we're going to take the herbs. Smell them again one last time. Delicious. Put it right at the bottom. Can't screw that up, right? Now let's open the container, here, of the vodka. So I'm just going to go ahead and pour the rest of this in there. Just a little left right there. Next, of course, is the Everclear. Go ahead and let's pout that in right now. Smell that. That's strong. It'll clear up any problems. It's actually really cool, seeing this turn the green color from everything that's in there. So imagine it's going to get a great green tinge. Alright. I'm going to go ahead and just close this up, and that's pretty much it. We're just going to let it sit for the five days. I'll shake it up every once so often, and the next segment you're going to see us put in the next batch of ingredients, and then move on to showing how to drink it, consume it, and enjoy it.
