Interest in the controversial drink Absinthe has increased over the years and even more so when Ted Breaux, an environmental chemist from New Orleans, claimed to have exactly re-created the original recipe. He used a couple of hundred-year old bottles of authentic Pernod Absinthe to distill the recipe. He also utilized half a dozen odd botanicals, which includes Spanish green anise, absinthium and Alpine hyssop. This concoction resulted in Absinthe Edouard 72 (144 proof) and Jade Verte Suisse 65 (130 proof). Buy these Absinthes online for $90 per bottle.
You can now get a taste of this original recipe when you buy Absinthe online. You can order Absinthe through the Internet since there are a lot of international online stores that sell Absinthe. It is safe to buy Absinthe online from recognized vendors and distributors. However, you have to be aware that there are many pseudo Absinthe drinks in the market today. Just make sure that every period detail is correct. Like in the Absinthe created by Breaux, he chose Samur’s Combier distillery in France, with the very stills used by Pernod during the 1870s.
Switzerland is another place where there are fine Absinthes to be had. After all, Switzerland is the birthplace of the green fairy.
When buying Absinthe online, be wary of the varieties where manufacturers add green dye to the mix. Take note that genuine Absinthe is light green in color. You should be cautious about some Czech varieties when buying Absinthe online. This drink was not traditionally from the Czech Republic but due to the re-emergence of Absinthe’s popularity, some manufacturers began to produce fake versions of it.
Absinthe is found in Europe and if you want to buy Absinthe online, you also have to consider the shipping costs. Keep in mind that shipping from Europe is really expensive.
