FAQ
Is absinthe illegal?
The legality of absinthe can be a topic of great confusion. However, as of today, absinthe is completely legal in many countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and most of Europe. Any misconceptions about its illegality may be tied to historic bans from the early 20th century due to misunderstandings about its ingredients and effects.
Is absinthe the strongest alcohol?
When considering alcohol content, absinthe is indeed one of the strongest spirits available. The alcohol content can range from 45% to as high as 75%, although the typical range is 55%-72%. This high proof makes absinthe a particularly potent beverage and one that should be consumed responsibly.
What is the best way to drink absinthe?
The classic French method of drinking absinthe involves placing a sugar cube on a slotted spoon over a glass containing a measure of absinthe. Ice cold water is then slowly dripped onto the sugar cube, which dissolves and drips into the absinthe, causing it to louche and releasing its unique aromas and flavors. The result is a perfect balance between sweetness and the botanicals present in absinthe, creating a delightful sensory experience.
Why is it called absinthe?
The name “absinthe” originates from the Greek “apsinthion,” which means “undrinkable,” likely referring to the very bitter taste of wormwood, one of its main ingredients. However, when prepared correctly, modern absinthe has a complex flavor profile that is anything but undrinkable. It blends the unique flavors of botanicals such as anise and other herbs with the bitterness of wormwood to create a drink of great complexity and depth.
Do you sip or shot absinthe?
Given its high alcohol content and complex flavor profile, absinthe is traditionally sipped, not shot. The slow consumption allows drinkers to truly appreciate the unique blend of botanicals, and it aligns with the ritualistic preparation of the drink. Absinthe is a beverage to savor and enjoy slowly, appreciating its unique flavors and aromas — rather than consumed quickly. By sipping absinthe, you can truly appreciate this historic spirit’s nuanced complexity.
