"Wine" Tasting and Drinking Games

Anyone showing up for class today would notice some ominous bottles filled with clear greenish liquid sitting on the bar.

"So. Today's wine choice is absinthe," Jessica began. "And yeah, I know. It's not wine. Whatever. We're fucking drinking it."

She pulled off the cap and started to pour a glass for everyone. "The taste profile is that shitty black jelly bean you accidentally ate with a hint of dusty herbs that someone keeps in their pantry but only break it out during thanksgiving dinner so they don't really taste like they should."

"Oh and supposedly it's supposed to make you hallucinate but I guess that's a bullshit urban myth. So if you start seeing fairies or whatever then they're probably real. As for tonight's drinking game we're all going to pretend we're at some teenager sleepover and play truth or dare."

Because the combination of absinthe and truth and dare is a chemical reaction that Jessica wanted to see happen.

"Let's start shall we?"

"Okay..." Jessica said carefully looking around the bar and finding everything but the lighter, which she was able to take from her own jacket. "Please don't set the bar on fire."

Duke snorted. "Please. I'm practically a professional."

He piled a bit of sugar on the spoon and drizzled some absinthe over it, then lit the boozy sugar on fire and let it burn for a moment, watching it caramelize. Then he blew it out, dunked the sugar into the absinthe, and tossed the whole thing back like -- well, a professional.

"Ah! Reminds me of my summer in Prague."
