drinking like an author: ayn rand edition

Seeing as it is St. Patrick's Day, I decided to try out another literary drink from Tequila Mockingbird. I selected one of the few green drinks in the book--Absinthe Shrugged.

Quote: "If you suffer from debilitating back pain, odds are you either exercise incorrectly, don't exercise at all, or once tried to get through Atlas Shrugged."

Ingredients: 
Absinthe (legal, non-wormwood kind)
Sugar

Steps:
If you can't work out how to make this drink, then I can't help you

This is awful. It tastes like crushed dreams. It tastes like resentment. And worst of all, it tastes like black licorice.

Save yourself and ditch this drink. Be a normal Irish person/writer/day drinking enthusiast and get green beer tonight.

much love,
