Information About Absinthe Green Fairy
Absinthe Green Fairy is an alcoholic drink with an interesting history. In the 18th century it was developed as an elixir and today it is among the most controversial and popular drinks of all time.
Absinthe is an anise flavored spirit which is incredibly strong, between 45 and 75% Alcohol by volume. The name “Green Fairy” was kept because of it's emerald green color. Herbs are used to prepare this distilled liquor. The three important herbs for it is wormwood (Artemisia Absinthium), green aniseed and fennel (fennell). Henri-Louis Pernod was the first to commercially distilled Absinthe used other herbs to produce his famous original Pernod Absinthe recipe. The herbs like calamus were used by some manufacturers which was thought to be psychoactive. Absinthe louche when iced water is poured over the sugar on the Absinthe spoon due to the essential oil extract from the herbs. The oils are insoluble in water that's why cause Absinthe to cloud.
Absinthe Green Fairy and the Art World
Absinthe is famous for inspiring many artists and writers associated with the Bohemian culture of the Montmartre area of Paris. Some of the famous Absinthe drinkers are Vincent Van Gough, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin, Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Degas, Ernest Hemingway and Oscar Wilde. Many writers and artists were convinced with the effects of Absinthe. Van Gogh and Picasso are among the painters who featured Absinthe and Absinthe drinkers in their paintings.
Absinthe's association with old Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge and the Bohemian sect, was just the excuse necessary for prohibition campaigners. France banned Absinthe in 1915 because of it's relation with the murder of a family and increasing alcohol addiction in this nation. Many countries banned it but it remained legal in the Czech Republic, the UK, Spain and Portugal.
People believed that the chemical thujone was responsible for the psychedelic effects of drinking the Green Fairy. Thujone was thought to be similar to THC in cannabis. Although Absinthe is mainly alcohol and ethanol but it also contains minute amount of thujone. Research has shown that Absinthe is just as safe as any other strong liquor and that it is the alcohol content not the thujone that is dangerous. A number of studies and articles have been written on the subject. As it is twice strong than a vodka or a whisky so one must be careful about the amount while drinking it.
During the time of prohibition many people enjoyed buying and drinking vintage style Absinthe in Absinthe bars in the Czech Republic, served in the classic Absinthe large glasses and in surroundings decorated with vintage Absinthe posters. Absinthe is legal in various nations with thujone levels controlled by the EU and the United States only allows marketing of Absinthe with trace quantity of thujone.
A person can visit websites to buy Absinthe or order Absinthe essences.An individual can make his own Absinthe Green Fairy to bottle at home by going through the website. Some new Absinthes which are made for the US market do not contain thujone.
To get a decadent drink one can mix Absinthe Green Fairy with champagne!
