Personally, I just prefer it in a Sazerac..

If you like that taste you might want to consider Mexican Xtabentun.

Read about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xtabent%C3%BAn_(liqueur)

I first discovered it when in Cozumel Mexico earlier this year where I
purchased a liter for $13. Just last week I purchased another bottle
when on a cruise to Costa Maya for $10. It is made from honey and
anise.

I've been using it in place of Pernod, Sambuca, Ouzo, etc.

Known as an ingredient in Mayan Coffee it can also be used for other
things including cooking (great with fish.)

You might even try it with water (like you might with Pernod, for
example) 1 to 4 with water and ice (as a start.)

If those are the substitutes, I don't need to try drinking absinthe.
I already know it will grow hair on my tongue. However, I have a
reservation at Absinthe for Saturday http://www.absinthe.com/
Their food is good and my tongue will remain hairless.
