Absinthe ALANDIA Rosé

Rosé Absinthe already existed during the Belle Époque in the 19th century in France. A proof is the advertising poster made at that time by the printing house Imprimerie Camis (you can see it in our photo gallery). The light pink color derived from hibiscus flowers. Based on this historical reference, Absinthe ALANDIA Rosé was created. As in the past, the Absinthe gets its natural color 100% plant-based from hibiscus flowers. Besides coloration, they round off the herbal and fresh taste of the Absinthe into a floral-fruity direction. Besides the typical fresh taste of the herbs, you can detect notes of fresh strawberries and cotton candy. Super delicious! The alcohol content is slightly lower at 60% abv, which is also in line with the historical original.

ALANDIA Rosé owes its color to the hibiscus flower. This is a vegetable dye that fades when exposed to UV rays. That's why we wrap each bottle in paper to protect the contents from sunlight. It is best to always store the Absinthe in a dark place so that it retains its natural color for as long as possible. However, it is inevitable that the initial pink color will change over time to a golden pink (you can see this final color in our product photo). It is important to know that this is a completely natural process. It has no negative influence on the taste of the Absinthe. On the contrary, the storage makes the Absinthe even softer and more balanced in taste, it matures like a good wine.

How to drink Absinthe Rosé

You should drink ALANDIA Rosé according to the classic French Absinthe ritual. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this original way of drinking Absinthe. You start by filling some Absinthe into the glass (approx. 1 oz). Then place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. You can use a water carafe or - even more professional - an Absinthe fountain. The Absinthe in the glass blends with sugared water and magically louches to an opalescent white color with hints of pink. We recommend a ratio of 1 part Absinthe to 2 parts water. Finally, stir the Absinthe with the spoon. Your glass of Absinthe Rosé is prepared!
