• Not poisonous, and never was?
Properly preparing a glass of absinthe isn't as complicated as you may think.
Do you know how to tell a great absinthe from a so-so absinthe? What does one look for, or demand, in a glass of absinthe? Just as with fine wine, fine absinthe has a whole language and system for evaluation and tasting.

Allegedly based on an 1875 recipe from the halls of Kubler, this is their take on a Verte Suisse.
Editor reviews
Appearance: Attractive peridot with golden hues
Louche: Quite thick! But almost a bit muddy. No real opalescence.
Aroma: Anise with hints of wormwood and hyssop.
Flavor: Surprisingly bitter! Like, VERY bitter. Bracing. Hints of anise but the wormwood is forceful in this one. A bit one-dimensional.
Finish: Acrid. Not a lot of sweetness. Drying astringence lasts for quite some time.
Overall: Looks nice, but really isn't a very pleasurable drink. Would do better prepared with some sugar cubes, but I'm just not a fan.
