Description
This is the Czech Absinthe you will find in every shop and bar in Prague. The flavor of this Absinthe is not very herbal, it actually brings to mind sweet cotton candy. If you don´t like the traditional taste anyway, this might be a good one for you. Nevertheless we have to point out, that Hills Absinthe is not a traditional Absinthe. But as this Absinthe is so famous in Prague and due to the fact, that it was one of the first Absinthes legally available for sale after re-legalization of the Green Fairy, we decided to offer it as well here in our store.
The traditional Absinthe peparation:
In the following video you can see how you prepare Absinthe the traditional French way. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice cold water for this ritual. This is how it works: You place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with water and magically louches from green to an opalescent white color. Santé, your sugared Absinthe is prepared!

- Similar to a US Version I had Review by Baloney Sandwich
There was(I don't know if there still is) a USA version kind of like this absinthe. It had a much deeper blueish green color than this one has. More blue than green though. It probably had artificial coloring in it. It barely turned cloudy when I poured sparkling water in it, and it barely had an anise or liquorish taste to it. It was extremely bitter, but extremely sweet in a natural way and a little minty. I think a whole bunch of stevia was added to the mixture. No notes of herbs except maybe for hyssop was in it. There was absolutely no need to add sugar because it was already sweet. The alcohol volume was at 75%. Basically, it had a very bittersweet and minty flavor. The funny thing is that when I was almost drunk, the effects of the wormwood was a lot stronger than the Lucid absinthe that I would normally drink. The short but very wide barrel of the bottle had a picture of hyssop plants against a creamy background all around the barrel of the bottle. Needless to say it would have to be an acquired taste. At least for me anyway. (Posted on 9/29/2022)Rating
