I Love Absinthe Green Fairy
Absinthe Green Fairy interesting history is worth noticing. Developed as an elixir or tonic in the 18th century it is now one of the most controversial and famous drinks of all time.
By definition Absinthe is strong anise flavored spirit containing 45 to 75% Alcohol by volume. It appears in emerald green in color, hence the name “Green Fairy” or in French “La Fee Verte”. It is a distilled liquor produced by distillation with herbs. The three herbs tend to be Artemisia Absinthium , fennell and green aniseed. Henri-Louis Pernod who is credited for first ever commercial distillation of Absinthe used other herbs produce his famous original Pernod Absinthe recipe. Other ingrediants such as the herb calamus were used by some manufacturers and this herb along with wormwood and nutmeg were though to be psychoactive. It is the essential oil extract from the herbs which causes Absinthe to louche when iced water is poured over the sugar on the Absinthe spoon. Absinthe clouds as oils are water insoluble.
The Role of Absinthe Green Fairy In the Art World
Absinthe is known for inspiring many artists and writers of the Bohemian culture of the Montmartre area located at Paris. Popular Absinthe drinkers include Vincent Van Gough, Pablo Picasso, Charles Baudelaire, Ernest Hemingway and Oscar Wilde. Quite a few writers and artists claim that Absinthe was a great source of inspiration for them. Painters and sculpturists like Van Gogh and Picasso even featured Absinthe and Absinthe drinkers in their paintings.
Old Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge and the Bohemian sect and their association with Absinthe was just the excuse that prohibition campaigners needed. At one point of time it was linked with the murder of a family and the growing problem of alcohol addiction in France it was easy for campaigners to get the sale of Absinthe made illegal and it was banned in France in 1915. Other countries of the world also banned it but Czech Republic, the UK, Spain and Portugal allowed its sale in their country.
The chemical thujone, present in wormwood, was blamed for the psychedelic effects of drinking the Green Fairy. Thujone was considered like THC in cannabis. As a matter of fact Absinthe is mainly alcohol, ethanol, and therefore contains very small quantities of thujone. Research has shown that Absinthe is just as safe as any other strong liquor and that it is the alcohol content not the thujone that is dangerous. Articles have been written on the subject extensively. It is about twice as strong as vodka or whisky and drink it with care and in moderation, it is simply a drink which gives pleasure.
During period of prohibition a lot of people enjoyed buying and drinking vintage style Absinthe in Absinthe bars in the Czech Republic. In the year 2008, Absinthe is once again legal in many countries subject to restrictions on the amount of thujone levels.
You can buy Absinthe online by the bottle or order Absinthe essences (visit the website AbsintheKit.com) to make your own Absinthe Green Fairy to bottle at home. Real Absinthe and Absinthe kit contains the vital ingredient wormwood but some new Absinthes, produced for the US market, do not contain thujone.
Absinthe Green Fairy is a wonderful spirit and can be used in cocktails too!
