Absinthe, also known as "the Green Fairy," is an emerald colored strongly alcoholic aperitif made from alcohol and distilled herbs, including wormwood, green anise, fennel, and hyssop. Very high in alcohol content, absinthe is usually in the 55% to 72% range (110 to 144 proof). In comparison, a good whisky is generally around 40% (80 proof). For this reason, most people enjoy absinthe diluted with iced water and sugar, at a ratio of approximately three to five parts water to one part absinthe. Absinthe is not for everyone, so you'll have to decide if you can responsibly handle it.

Absinthe was a wildly popular drink in the late 1800s during the Belle Epoque of Paris (French for "Beautiful Era"). Absinthe was a regular part of Parisian night life and famous artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Pablco Picasso, Edgar Degas, and writers and poets such as Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, and Paul Verlaine, made absinthe their drink of choice. Creative types thrived on absinthe because they claimed it provided clarity of mind and enhanced their creativity. Plus, the traditional rituals of drinking absinthe were, and are, just plain intriguing and downright cool (read about the rituals at http://www.greenfairyabsinthe.net/green-fairy-absinthe-drinking-ritual.html). Of course it is rumored that van Gogh cut off his own ear while under the influence of absinthe, so beware!

Modern day absinthe drinkers talk about absinthe's "secondary effects" that go way beyond the buzz you get from drinking alcohol. Many drinkers liken these "secondary effects" to a hallucinogenic drug that lasts 20-30 minutes. Others described it as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision, warmed by the effect of the alcohol. It has also been compared to the stimulant effect you get from caffeine or marijuana. Absinthe seems to affect everyone a little differently. Or not at all.

These "secondary effects" that drinkers either covet or fear are the result of the chemical thujone, which is found in wormwood, a main ingredient in absinthe. Absynthe with less than 10ppm of thujone can be legally purchased in the United States. Many purists prefer a stronger variety, and order it legally and easily online from Europe at http://www.GreenFairyAbsinthe.net

Absinthe is one of the most mysterious and misunderstood liquors. Perhaps it is the allure of "forbidden fruit" that intrigues drinkers today. If you do try it, keep away from the knives and count your ears in the morning!
