Do the bars onboard Indy stock Absinthe?

I think you may be referring to the process of lighting the absinthe-infused sugar cube that then is dissolved by water into the glass. I think this is called 'Bohemian' style preparation. I would agree though that this is an acquired taste and more or less equivalent to the 'Flaming Homer'. (Simpsons reference)

 

Not cruise ship friendly. :eek:

Don't you need an open flame to prepare it properly?

 

I believe so. A few years ago we were in New Orleans for Jazz Fest with some friends. We went to a bar in the quarter that I think was actually named "Absinthe." There was a flaming sugar cube resting over the center of the glass, and it was poured over the sugar cube. This was their specialty, obviously, so you know, "when in Rome." :)

Nope. Especially since all those table side flaming desserts have gone away like cherries jubilee, bananas foster, and baked Alaska.
