What is Absinthe?

Absinthe, also known as the "Green Fairy," is a potent herbal liqueur known since the 19th century for its powerful effects and mystical reputation. Often containing herbs like wormwood, anise, and fennel, the drink has acquired a magical and almost mysterious status over the years. In the art world of the late 1800s, it was considered a source of creativity—but also of madness. Think of artists like Vincent van Gogh, who loved this green elixir!
