Absinthe

Absinthe is a highly alcoholic, aromatic spirit originating from Switzerland, traditionally flavored with herbs like wormwood, anise, and fennel. Known for its vibrant green color, it has a complex, herbal taste and was historically associated with bohemian culture. Despite myths linking it to hallucinations, modern research shows it's safe when consumed responsibly. Absinthe is typically enjoyed diluted with water, which turns it a milky white due to the herbs' oils. It has a rich cultural history and is appreciated for its distinctive flavor and ritualistic preparation.
