I'm a fan. I've tried several brands. I tend to be more a fan of the French absinthes. Not a fan of the Czech ones that I have tried.

My favorite (in terms of how often I partake) is actually Francois Guy which would get me some incredulous stares as it's not exactly a connoisseur's pick (to put it mildly). Very low ABV for absinthe (45% I believe). Way too flowery for most peoples' tastes... but I quite enjoy it. You don't need to dilute it or add sugar either, as it's pretty sweet and already low ABV.

I generally import it, however Lucid is not that bad all things considered and it's available most anywhere. It also does not need sugar IMO. I haven't really looked around recently for new brands available in the US.

I also enjoy ouzo from time to time.

Ironically, I hate licorice candy.
