Absinthe was invented in 1797 by Dr. Pierre Ordinaire, but it wasn’t until later that Henri-Louis Pernod opened the first absinth distillery in Switzerland, and then one in France in 1805. Centuries later Pernod is still one of the most well known and respected names of absinthe for sale. Over the course of the next 70 years it became a favorite drink of the upper class, especially in France and with well to do women. It was one of the few drinks that was thought of as feminine and was often advertised with a buxom green faire woman. Most of the lower classes could not afford to buy absinthe because it was made with an expensive wine as its base, but after the wine shortage in 1870 it was made with much cheaper and stronger grain alcohol. This inexpensive and much more potent brew allowed many more people to use it and eventually led to what many people referred to as absinthe-soaked France around the turn of the century.
In the United States the manufacture of absinthe or other alcoholic beverages with the Thujone containing ingredient wormwood, or Artemisia Absinthium, is illegal, however it is possible to buy absinthe online from one of the many overseas vendors that offer absinthe for sale online. Most countries in Europe allow for the making of absinthe and other Thujone containing products for human consumption as long as they are below a government controlled level of Thujone. This level is low enough so that before an absinthe drinker would get the harmful toxic effects of wormwood and the Thujone in it, they would experience alcohol poisoning and probably vomit. There are many websites that offer absinthe for sale online from these European countries, but many times these websites will only sell absinthe to European or British customers.
Most absinthe for sale contains dyes and other artificial and ancillary ingredients to make it the typical “green faerie” neon green color. Even when this color is natural it comes from low Thujone containing immature wormwood pieces which does nothing to increase the effects of the absinthe, only its appearance. Historically absinthe sellers sometimes added dangerous chemicals to the drink to color it but since its re-legalization this practice has been curtailed through heavy government regulation. The most potent absinthe for sale today is not the neon green color, but rather a brownish yellow with pieces of wormwood in the bottom of the bottle.
After you find a place that sells absinthe, and you buy it you will probably want to drink it the traditional Czech way. Here are the instructions for that process for the aspiring absinthe drinker:
Pour a shot of absinthe into a glass. Notice the color and smell, is it neon and unnatural looking? Does it smell like anise?
Then, Fill a spoon with sugar, then absinthe. Burn the sugar on the spoon until it caramelizes, then mix, adding water.
Add more water or sugar to taste, then stir until a cloud, also known as the “louche”, appears in your cup.
Absinthe’s quite bitter taste comes from not only the extremely strong, 140 proof or 70 percent, alcohol it is made from but also from the addition of anise an herb similar in taste and scent to licorice but stronger. Anise is become very popular in French liquors after absinthe was outlawed all over Europe around 1915. When you buy absinthe online remember that only in the Czech Republic are you buying absinthe made the traditional way with the same proportion of ingredients. When you order absinthe from a Czech website, there is little risk that you will be in danger with the law because you like to purchase czech absinthe.
