Is it similar in any way to Ouzo or completely different? Ouzo I know.

I've thought about checking it out but the price tag is up there. 😕

Drink Corona, best beer in the whole world.

Would you recommend it in Mexico itself or are there better regional beers down there?

If after that you don't think Corona is the best beer in the world, you're gay.

There are much, much better Mexican beers...

Like Pacifico for example.

Absinthe is vile tasting. If you want something good and 70% strong, get some home-made palinca.

The store-bought stuff (in the U.S.) isn't the same drink enjoyed by Van Gogh, Hemingway...etc., but it's not bad. I don't think they use wormwood in the recipe. It does taste pretty much like Ouzo. Warm and smooth going down. In the end though, the effect is the same as vodka or any other hard liquor. Don't expect any spiritual experiences.
