Absinthe, known as La Fee Verte, is a strong alcoholic beverage with an anise taste. Henri-Louise Pernod's original Absinthe was made with a wine alcohol base and herbs such as grande wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium), aniseed and fennel. Although Absinthe is distilled at very high proof and is very strong, it is served with iced water which dilutes it. It is twice as strong as other spirits such as vodka and whisky.

Absinthe contains the herb wormwood that gives the drink its bitter taste. In the early 1900s the drink was banned because wormwood contains thujone. It was believed that thujone was psychoactive and harmful to health. Studies and tests have now shown that Absinthe only contains trace amounts of thujone and is not harmful.

Absinthe is enjoyed by using a preparation method called The Ritual. A shot of Absinthe in a glass is diluted with water dripped over a cube of sugar on an Absinthe spoon. When the water mixes into the alcohol, it causes the drink to louche and become cloudy. Only Absinthe containing real herbs and oils will louche properly.
