$10 Well Spent:  Absinthe Gummi Bears
It’s finally legal, and we can’t think of a better time to hallucinate indulge.

From the genius of hunky, tattooed chef Sam Manson comes a glorious new gelatin creation: Absinthe Gummi Bears.

According to the guys at UrbanDaddy, the bears are 85% absinthe, “with just a touch of gelatin and sugar added to keep things solid.”

The good news? You don’t even have to order booze to snag one! Bears are served as a compliment to espresso, arriving at your table alongside the stirring spoon. 

The bad news?  You’re not allowed to order by the plate-load. One bear per espresso. Frown yes, but it’s definitely something worth trying. 

And to quote UD, “You won't want to take on a beast like this on an empty stomach.”

Where to get ‘em:
Absinthe Gummi Bears at Tailor, 525 Broome (between Thompson and Sullivan), NYC.

Not anywhere near NYC? Click here to order absinthe lollipops. The luscious lollies are only 4 for $10. 
Now that’s a serious party favor.

It depends. There are two types of Absynthe. The illegal kind and the legal. The hallucinogen comes from the wood barrel that the alcohol ferments in. The legal absynthe is non hallucinogenic and the illegal still is. The gummy bears are the legal kind right? If not I am going to be there this afternoon.

absinthe with lower levels of thujone is legal if you click through to the absinthe lollipops site. i didn't see anything printed about the concentration specifically, so it might be less than the threshold.
