    Absinthe is historically described as a highly alcoholic spirit (45–74% ABV / 90–148 U.S. proof. Absinthe is a strong, anise-flavored spirit that originated in Switzerland in the late 18th century. It gained popularity in Europe, particularly in France, and was known for its green color and reputation as a mind-altering, psychoactive beverage. Absinthe was banned in many countries in the early 20th century due to concerns over its high alcohol content and alleged hallucinogenic effects. Today, absinthe is legal in most countries and is enjoyed for its unique flavor profile and cultural significance. It is traditionally served by diluting a small amount of absinthe with water and sugar, and it is often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or as a cocktail ingredient. Despite its reputation, absinthe is best enjoyed in moderation and its alcohol content should always be respected.

    Absinthe is a highly alcoholic and anise-flavoured spirit that originated in Switzerland in the late 18th century. The drink gained popularity in the 19th century and became a favourite of many famous artists, writers, and intellectuals, including Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Ernest Hemingway. However, the drink's reputation was soon tarnished, and it became associated with madness and violence.

    In the early 20th century, absinthe was banned in many countries, including the United States, due to concerns about its safety and alleged psychoactive effects. However, scientific research has since shown that these claims were largely exaggerated and that absinthe is no more dangerous than other alcoholic beverages.

    In the 1990s, the ban on absinthe was lifted in many countries, and the drink has since made a comeback. Today, absinthe is popular among bartenders and mixologists, who have created new and innovative ways to serve the drink. Despite its controversial history, absinthe remains a fascinating and complex spirit that continues to captivate drinkers around the world.

    To enjoy absinthe, follow these steps:

    - Choose a quality absinthe: Look for absinthe that's made with real wormwood and has a high alcohol content (around 70% ABV).
    - Pour absinthe into a glass: Use an absinthe glass or a tall, narrow glass. Pour a small amount (around 30ml) into the glass.
    - Prepare the absinthe spoon: Place an absinthe spoon on top of the glass with a sugar cube on it. You can also use a slotted spoon or a regular spoon with holes in it.
    - Drip water over the sugar: Slowly drip cold water over the sugar cube using an absinthe fountain or a carafe. The water should be ice-cold and drip onto the sugar cube until it dissolves.
    - Watch the louche: As the water drips over the sugar and into the absinthe, it will begin to turn cloudy (a process called the louche). Watch the louche until it becomes opaque and milky.
    - Stir and enjoy: Once the louche is complete, stir the absinthe gently to combine the water and absinthe. Take a sip and enjoy the complex flavors and aromas of this unique drink.

    Remember, absinthe is a potent drink, so drink it slowly and responsibly. Enjoy!

    Absinthe is a highly alcoholic and anise-flavoured distilled spirit that originated in Switzerland in the late 18th century. It is often referred to as the "Green Fairy" due to its greenish colour and its association with artistic and bohemian culture. Absinthe is traditionally made from wormwood, anise, and fennel, and it's known for its potent and unique flavour.

    Absinthe has a long and controversial history, as it was banned in several countries due to the belief that it caused hallucinations and insanity. However, recent scientific studies have shown that these claims were largely unfounded, and absinthe is now legal in many countries.

    To enjoy absinthe, it's traditionally served with a sugar cube and a slotted spoon. The sugar is placed on the spoon, and cold water is slowly dripped over it to dilute the absinthe and release its herbal flavours. This process is known as "louching," and it results in a cloudy, milky appearance.

    Absinthe is a unique and complex spirit that is often misunderstood. While it may not be for everyone, those who appreciate its distinct flavour and cultural significance can enjoy it responsibly as part of their drinking experience.
