Wow. I've only ever known Absinthe to be served on its own; those sound fantastic, thanks!

Flaming absinthe, where a sugarcube is soaked in the glass of absinthe, then lifted out, placed onto a slotted spoon resting over the glass, and is then lit with a match. A lovely blue pyramid of flame should go from inside the glass, through/over the spoon, and begin melting the sugar.

After half a minute or so, turf the sugar into the absinthe, throw in a heap of crushed ice, and drink!
