Absinthe Authentique

Absinthe Authentique was introduced to the market at the 2011 Absinthe fair "Absinthiades". It is a French Absinthe from the Emile Pernot distillery in Pontarlier. Its taste is as the name suggests authentic, as its recipe is based on the holy trinity of Absinthe, wormwood, anise and fennel. However, since it is mainly wormwood flowers that are distilled, Absinthe Authentique has a perfume-like aroma that spreads throughout the room as soon as the bottle is opened.

The traditional way of serving Absinthe

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!
