Sorry dear, but you haven't had true absinthe yet, the real stuff doesn't taste like peppermint, true absinthe is so bitter you have to pour it into the glass letting it go through a slotted spoon with sugar cubes in it to sweeten it.

I read too much into absinthe, you know? Must be my relentless quest for information........Laters, Lady Une
