Cork fragment found in Absinthe, safe to drink?

Question

The cork cap of the bottle of my Absinthe broke away the last time i tried to use it. I removed it from the bottle with a cork screw and removed the fragments. However a month or so later i've noticed it still has a few smaller fragments in it that have been floating around this whole time. Is it safe to drink?

Answer 1

I can't think of any reason why it would be unsafe. The cork will have been in contact with the absinthe since it was bottled.

Answer 2

No its not safe for human.....its harmful to us

Answer 3

It never hurts to be safe with this kind of thing. Pour the absinthe into a bottle of Faygo, let it stand for 24 hours, and use the mixture as vape juice.

Answer 4

Yes. Get a piece of cheesecloth and run it through that. No more cork.

Answer 5

The cork fragment should not hurt you.

Answer 6

Just strain out the cork.

Answer 7

Well, no alcoholic beverage is "safe," but cork isn't toxic. Just strain it out. Wine oftend gets bits of cork floating around in it after you open the bottle and nobody dies from that. They die from the alcohol.

Answer 8

It's fine. You can prevent further annoyance with a bottle-sized vessel, a funnel, and a coffee filter.

Answer 9

just dont drink it if youre worried about it

Answer 10

Absinthe is potent enough on its own, I dont think the cork bits will harm you if you can drink Absinthe!

Answer 11

Yes. Cork is very soft wood so no problem. The alcohol would kill any germs.
