Absinthe is a distilled, highly alcoholic beverage. It is typically green in color and has a strong anise flavor. Absinthe is made from a variety of herbs, including grande wormwood, green anise, and fennel. It is often referred to as the “green fairy” due to its color and psychoactive effects.
Absinthe was first produced in Switzerland in the 18th century. It quickly became popular in France, where it was known as “la fe verte” (the green fairy). Absinthe was also popular in other parts of Europe and the United States. However, it was banned in many countries in the early 20th century due to concerns about its psychoactive effects.
