Absinthe

About

Buy Absinthe Online — The Legendary Green Spirit Absinthe is the storied emerald spirit of bohemian Paris — anise, wormwood and mountain herbs at a strength that rightly commands your full respect. Once banned, always mythologised, absinthe is enjoying a well-earned revival among cocktail lovers. The Bottle Club stocks classic verte and blanche styles alongside high-strength bottlings. Which absinthe should I choose? Verte (green) absinthe is the classic, coloured naturally by herbs. Blanche is clear and slightly softer, while high-ABV bottlings cater to collectors and the brave. A little goes a long way in cocktails like the Sazerac. How to serve absinthe The traditional ritual: pour a measure, rest a slotted spoon with a sugar cube over the glass, and slowly drip iced water until the drink turns cloudy — the famous louche. Never neat by the glassful. Absinthe FAQs How strong is absinthe? Typically 45–74% ABV — always check the label. Is absinthe legal in the UK? Yes, absinthe is fully legal to buy in the UK.
