PREMIUM ABSINTHE LIQUEUR

Absente is a French absinthe made from a blend of Artemisia Absinthium, mugwort infusion, star anise flavours, mint and spices. Nicknamed "green fairy" and banned in 1915, it became legal again in 1988. Very appreciated for its taste of wormwood and its green colour, this alcohol seduced many 19th century artists and "cursed poets" like Van Gogh, Baudelaire, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Oscar Wilde. With an alcohol content of 55% and 10mg of Thujone, it is the first Absinthe authorised.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Absente 55 is enjoyed by those in the know in the true tradition that involves a flame, sugar, water and absinthe, a ceremonial ritual which gives free reign to your imagination. Mild and pastis-like in style, ideal for cocktails. Perfect on the rocks or with crushed ice, for trendy and modern consumers.

About Absinthe: Nicknamed "green fairy" and banned in 1915, it was authorised again in 1988. It is only in 2011 that its level of thujone (molecule present in the plant which, in strong doses, was supposed to make one mad) is fixed at a maximum of 35 mg/kg. Very appreciated for its taste of absinthe and its green reflections, this alcohol seduced many artists like Van Gogh, Baudelaire, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Oscar Wilde. The famous tasting ritual is still practiced according to the tradition, by pouring water on the absinthe, through a flat perforated spoon holding a sugar cube.
