About Absinthe:
We only sell absinthe glasses, fountains and spoons. We do not sell bottles of absinthe.
Support real absinthe producers and help
spread the truth about absinthe. Smashing the myths surrounding
absinthe is the first step towards having it available in the USA.
Absinthe Facts:
1. Absinthe is not a drug and will not make you hallucinate, high or make you go crazy.
2.
Fire has no part in the absinthe ritual. Lighting absinthe on
fire is a modern marketing ploy used only to sell foul tasting
“absinth.”
3. Real absinthe is not overly bitter. It is, however, smooth, refreshing and tastes delicious.
4.
Much of the so-called absinthe produced in the Czech Republic and
Germany is not real absinthe and should be avoided. If it boasts
a high thujone content - don't buy it.
5. The best absinthe comes from France, Switzerland and Spain.
6. There was no valid scientific reason why Absinthe was banned in the USA - but sadly it was.
7.
You can not make absinthe from an extract kit or by merely soaking
herbs in spirits. Do not waste your money on products or kits
that make this claim.
8. Absinthe is not all about wormwood or
thujone. Wormwood is just one of the principle
ingredients. If it's thujone you're after, eat some sage.
There is a higher concentration of thujone in common sage than in grand
wormwood.
9. Absinthe is good for you (only if taken in
moderation). After all, it was invented by a doctor and Absinthe
contains many herbs that have long been renowned for their homeopathic
qualities.
10. Absinthe is delicious and best enjoyed, like all other alcoholic beverages, in moderation.
