ABSINTHE ABSENTE
Signature drink of the Impressionist painters, notably Van Gogh, absinthe, banned in 1912, is now finally legal. Handcrafted in the French Alps, Absente is made by following one of the oldest recipes dating back to the 19th century, as well as by using the highest quality artisanal distillation methods and ingredients, including the infamous botanical wormwood (or artemisia absinthium), the key ingredient of the authentic absinthe recipe. In spite of its bitterness, Absente is relatively easy to the palate, thanks to the perfect balance of Wormwood, anise, mint and spices, which gives a sweet, fresh and slightly spiced taste. Absente, Absinthe Refined at 110 proof is delightful in so many ways. It can be enjoyed mixed with water, with the classic sugar and water mixture with a slotted spoon. Absente is also perfect on the rocks or with crushed ice in aromatic cocktails (Mojito, Tonic, etc.)
