How to drink Absinthe
In the following paragraph, we will explain how to drink Absinthe the classic way: First, you have to place an Absinthe spoon on the glass. A good glass is for example the Pontarlier Absinthe glass, as it has a reservoir in the stem to measure the correct amount of Absinthe (3-4 cl). Then you place one or two sugar cubes on the spoon, depending on your preferences. The best sugar cubes for Absinthe are the individually wrapped sugar cubes from ALANDIA, as they are smaller and less pressed than regular cubes. Therefore, they dissolve very well. To blend the green liquor with water, you have to pour ice-cold water over the sugar into the glass. The Absinthe begins to louche, meaning that the green color of the spirit turns into a milky white, cloudy color. This is a magical moment! You can also use a Brouille glass or an Absinthe Fountain to add water to the drink. These accessories improve the louche experience, as water is added slowly to the drink.
Where can I buy real Absinthe online?
ALANDIA offers the world of Absinthe online. We sell real Absinthe and all the accessories you need to prepare the drink. But before we explain more in detail, why you should buy Absinthe at the ALANDIA online store and not somewhere else, let us talk about the drink "Absinthe" itself first. There are so many misunderstandings around that it makes sense to mention one more time some of the most important facts about the drink.
Absinthe, is it poisonous?
Absinthe is the name of the legendary drink of the 19th century. Its unique characteristics are the wonderful green color, the high alcohol degree of 68% alc. by vol., and the fascinating history of this spirit. Famous artists and poets of the 19th century confessed their love to this very special alcoholic spirit, commonly known under the name the "Green Fairy". Did we forget something..? Yes! Its herbal ingredients, especially artemisia absinthium / wormwood. But to avoid misunderstandings or disappointment: Absinthe is not a hallucinogenic drug, it is a drink / spirit distilled out of the plant wormwood, and wormwood contains thujone. Yes, Thujone can be poisonous, but only if you consume it in large scale. In the EU a legal level of 35 mg thujone per liter is allowed. This amount is small and if you drink Absinthe in larger quantities you will primarily feel the alcohol. So don't consider Absinthe to be a hallucinogenic drug. It is a spirit of history which fascinates by its complex taste and unique drinking ritual.
We also want to mention that Absinthe in the 19th century did not contain outrageous amounts of thujone. This is a myth. Vintage Absinthes were analyzed and guess what, the levels were similar to today or even lower. Therefore, Absinthe is once again legally for sale.
Which Absinthe is the best to buy?
Our favorite green Absinthes are Heritage Verte, Epoque and Maison ALANDIA. These brands set the standard in terms of quality and distillation experience. If you like to buy a very strong Absinthe then Strong68 and Gold68 are your way to go. But as tastes are subjective, we recommend that you start to find out about your favorite Absinthe yourself. The world of Absinthe has so much to offer, so start and explore. There are so many premium Absinthes available for sale today, as the Green Fairy was fortunately legalized in almost all countries of the world after a ban of 100 years (read more about the legal status of Absinthe at our info site). Therefore, you have now the chance to truly experience this liquor like, so many did in the 19th century! One special Absinthe we like to mention is Mansinthe. It is the official Absinthe of the musician Marilyn Manson. Despite its extraordinary creator, this Absinthe is quite traditional. It is distilled in Switzerland and uses a classic recipe.
