La Fee Verte Absinthe Spoon Details

Absinthe

Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-74% alcohol) beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs including Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". Absinthe traditionally is a natural green color but it can also be colorless. It is commonly referred to as "la fée verte" (the Green Fairy).

Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is a spirit. Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a very high proof but is normally diluted with water and taken with sugar when consumed.

Absinthe achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th and early 20th Century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Absinthe was opposed by prohibitionists; it was associated with bohemian culture. Charles Baudelaire, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Oscar Wilde, Vincent van Gogh, Aleister Crowley, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Amedeo Modigliani, and Alfred Jarry were all notorious in their day who were thought to be devotees of the Green Fairy.

Absinthe was thought to be an addictive, psychoactive drug. By 1915, absinthe was banned in the United States and in most European countries except in Spain, England, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. No evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits.

A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries. Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007.

Today, Absinthe drinkers enjoy drinking this exotic spirit with friends. Who knows? It might aid in creativity and inspiration.
