New Orleans is the city once dubbed the Absinthe Capital of the World. With this thought in mind I decided to add an Absinthe Supplier and a bit of information about Absinthe…

Absinthe was invented in Switzerland late in the 18th century and has been enjoyed by many of the world's greatest minds, from Vincent van Gogh and Arthur Rimbaud, to Oscar Wilde and Earnest Hemmingway. In Paris in the late 1800's, happy hour became known as "l'heure verte" - The Green Hour.

What is Absinthe?
Absinthe is a popular liquor made from a blend of herbs. It was very popular in the 19th century and has been immortalized in recent films such as Moulin Rouge and From Hell.

One of the ingredients, Artemisia absinthium. also known as wormwood, gives the drink its name - and its sinister reputation. For a century, absinthe has been demonized and outlawed, based on the belief that it leads to absinthism - far worse than mere alcoholism. Drinking it supposedly causes epilepsy and "criminal dementia."

Absinthe Effects and Those Who Drink It...
Absinthe is known for promoting a lucid, reflective and creative state of mind in those who drink it. It is made using the same original French recipe adored by some of the world's most notorious artists and writers. Van Gogh, Picasso, Hemingway… Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson and Eminem used and drew inspiration from Absinthe and its effects.

Thanks to e-commerce you can now purchase Absinthe online. Now you too can try the infamous Absinthe that these legends consumed and experience the allure and magic of the Absinthe ritual yourself.
