Visual Art For Your Weekend

Toulouse-Lautrec’s drink of choice was a concoction of his own invention, called The Earthquake. It was equal parts absinthe and brandy. (What color would that turn out to be?)
Granted, he did not live or die well, and one takes one’s health into one’s hands when one emulates his physical habits, but if you’re feeling … historical and slightly tragic, you know what to do.
One of my favorites. I think this visited the Portland Art Museum a few years ago.
I'll stick with adding a splash of absinthe to my vodka cocktails, thanks! An absinthe hangover is something I never, ever want to experience.
But damn, does La Goulue (sp?) ever look like a tough old dyke.
I'm guessing it turns turd-brown. There is no better way to ruin a cocktail than by adding absinthe.
i'll stick with a sidecar, thanks.
You can imitate an absinthe hangover easily by drinking a pint or two of Fernet Branca, Liquore Strega, Benedictine, Chartreuse, Jagermeister, etc.
He also carried a shot or so of it in his cane, which unscrewed and also contained a serving glass.
