very interesting

Hmm...different, I guess it will appeal to the right crowd.

I avoid celebrity branded stuff like the plague. However, if he can get the brand distributed throughout the United States, I'd give it a try just because I've always wanted to taste absinthe out of pure curiosity.

Now if only Lucid Absinthe would branch out further than New York...

Too bad real absinthe is illegal in the US. The stuff bought there doesn't have the wormwood in it, thus not real absinthe. After all what's the point of drinking absinthe if there's no threat of going insane.

Oh, and Manson isn't a goth. He's shock rock.

i like my absinthe with a sugar cube, not with a lame celebrity endorsement.

What is up with all of the crap being endorsed by celebritards these
days?

I'm not a bit surprised by this. Coming from a celebrity, it is different because he's endorsing something edible.

I've never heard of absinthe. But anything associated with him-no thanks.

kostika - good point, i should have called him "goth"

It would be so much cooler if he didn't put his name on the label. What's next Cheetos flavored baby food by Britney?

First, I don't know that the world needs anything that extends Marilyn Manson's brand. His original oddness was one thing, but his latest antics are just repelling.

Second, I think it's a disservice to the fringe liqueur that its introduction to "popular" potable culture in the U.S. will be via a persona that is so fringe itself. Absinthe could be associated with Bohemian Paris, or wonderful cocktails by Peter the Head Barman at the American Bar at the Savoy in London ... why any distributor would think Marilyn Manson is the way to go is beyond me!

I'd drink it... but only because I want to try absinthe.

i think its sort of funny.

I think if Danny DeVito can sell Limoncello, Marilyn Manson ought to have some success with Absinthe. He's a notorious absinthe drinker, so maybe people will assume that he's put his name on the best. Who knows!

Sorry!

Absinthe with wormwood is no longer illegal in the United States, but it has to meet some strict standards. There is already one real absinthe brand on the market in New York: http://www.drinklucid.com/
