Absente Absinthe Refined Liqueur is the first legal Absinthe to be distributed in the US since 1912. It is a 110 proof, hypnotic emerald green liqueur made with a full measure of wormwood and other exotic botanicals. The stories of Absinthe are that of legend with those who have written of seemingly hallucinogenic experiences with the "green fairy". Traditionally, absinthe is poured into a small glass of water over a sugar cube resting on the provided slotted spoon.
