An Absinthe Verte is the most iconic representation of the Green Fairy. The color is achieved by adding special coloring herbs to the final distilled product. Vertes often have a higher alcohol degree to help maintain the green color.
One of our favorites is ALANDIA Verte, our house brand. It is distilled with a lot of wormwood and green anise for a traditional taste. The overall composition of the recipe is quite balanced and creates a fresh and smooth taste. If you are a fan of fresh Absinthe another recommendation to buy is Suisse Verte. This traditional Swiss Absinthe has a very nice bright green color and its taste reminds of fresh meadows without overpowering on one specific herb. Heritage Verte is a very original Absinthe with a delicious wine alcohol base. It has sort of a pre-ban, vintage taste profile. Overall, this is a very intense brand. All Jade Absinthes from Mr. Ted Breaux are a good choice too.
