What is Absinthe?

A spirit commonly associated with Bohemian lifestyles and mythology, absinthe is truly a unique drink (with a healthy dash of intrigue). Commonly referred to as “the green fairy”, absinthe originated in Switzerland but gained massive popularity in France during the 19th and 20th centuries, featuring in prominent art pieces, literature, and, recently, in movies and television. Made by redistilling neutral alcohol with botanicals, absinthe’s key ingredients are wormwood oil, green anise, fennel, and hyssop.

With an ABV between 45-74%, absinthe’s undiluted alcohol volume is between 90-148%, so the alcoholic content of this beverage is on the higher side. The stories around this alluring and enigmatic beverage have always been mystifying, yet absinthe is gaining steady popularity globally and among those who are seeking the unexpected.
