Absinthe (also called absinthe)
Absinthe, also known as absinthe, is one of the wormwood spirits and is an alcoholic drink that is traditionally made from wormwood, anise, fennel, a number of other herbs that vary depending on the recipe, and alcohol.
Most absinthe brands are green, which is why absinthe is also called "The Green Fairy" (French: La fée verte). The alcohol content is usually between 45 and 89 percent by volume and is therefore assigned to the upper range of spirits. Due to the use of bitter-tasting herbs, particularly wormwood, absinthe is considered a bitter spirit, although it doesn't necessarily taste bitter.
Absinthe was originally produced in the 18th century in the Val de Travers in what is now the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel (République et Canton de Neuchâtel) as a medicinal product. This spirit, which is traditionally drunk mixed with water, found great popularity in France in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Famous absinthe drinkers include Charles Baudelaire, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Rimbaud, Aleister Crowley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Oscar Wilde.
At the peak of its popularity, the drink had a reputation for being addictive and causing serious health problems due to its thujone content. From 1915, the drink was banned in a number of European countries and the USA. Modern studies have not been able to prove harm from absinthe consumption beyond the effects of alcohol; the damage to health found at that time is now attributed to the poor quality of the alcohol and the high quantities of alcohol consumed. Absinthe has been available again in most European countries since 1998. In Switzerland, too, the manufacture and sale of absinthe has been permitted again since 2005.
