How to Mix a Traditional Absinthe Drink

How to Mix a Traditional Absinthe Drink by http://www.NeuroSoup.com

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

Today it is known that absinthe does not cause hallucinations. Thujone, the active chemical in absinthe, occurs naturally in two forms (−)-α-thujone and (+)-β-thujone. The two types of thujones are GABA antagonists; and while they can produce muscle spasms in large doses, there is no evidence that they cause hallucinations. It has been speculated that reports of hallucinogenic effects of absinthe may have been due to chemicals being added to cheaper versions of the drink in the 19th century, to give it a more vivid color.
