Absinthe is a type of spirit made from a combination of herbs, including wormwood, anise, and fennel. It is traditionally distilled and bottled in France, Switzerland, and other European countries. It is usually served in a glass with a sugar cube and water, which turns the drink cloudy. Absinthe has a strong anise flavor and a high alcohol content, usually between 45-74% ABV. Absinthe has a long and storied history, with its popularity peaking in the late 19th century. It was banned in many countries in the early 20th century due to its purported hallucinogenic effects, but has since been legalized in many places. Today, absinthe is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, with many craft distilleries producing their own versions of the spirit. Companies such as La Fée, St. George Spirits, and Lucid Absinthe Superieure are leading the way in producing high-quality absinthe. Other companies, such as Pernod Ricard and Hapsburg, are also producing absinthe for the mass market. Show Less Read more
