La Fee Parisienne Absinthe

A wonderful absinthe to start on: a fairly sweet flavour when prepared properly and also fun! 5 stars!

Banging drink – super delicious and lasts ages.

People need to do some research. Thujone is not toxic. If it is, then all that sage you eat on Thanksgiving should have wiped out America long ago as sage also contains large amounts of thujone. Also, this is my favorite absinthe as it's a good quality for the price.

Okay . . . . bought it as my first absinthe. First "real" absinthe, anyway. It is exactly what you would expect. Strong. Don't drink it neat. It's pretty stout for that. Put enough ice-cold water through the sugar cube to get the 'loache' effect, completely opaque but quite adding water before the drink turns completely white. Pretty weak by then. Now I will have to try some of the other, just to make sure.

As all regulatory ABSINTHE makers know, it is the Thujone in the oil that is to always be avoided. If you want thujone, I suggest you buy the essential oil and drink some then rub some all over your body. The OIL(!) is a neurotoxin, but like many other things, such as Juniper in English gin, you'll find that the object is not to extract thujone. It has to do with a combo of herbs and proper alc, then you'll be on your way to finding a good absinthe.
