I don't know the exact original absinthe recipe, but I do know that most historical absinthes used Green Anise, which is native to the Mediterranean, and not Star Anise, which is native to East Asia. Green Anise is much less overpowering and much more complex than Star Anise, and it results in better absinthe. When Pernod introduced its first absinthe in nearly a century it was roundly criticized for being artificially colored, sweetened, and flavored with Star Anise. Pernod reformulated their absinthe a few years later in response to these criticisms.

3:33 Heritage is such an awesome brand of absinthe, it’s from the Paul Devoille Distillerie in Fougerolles France and you can only get it at an online store in Germany called Alandia that ships globally. Heritage Absinthe is a collaboration between Alandia and the distillery. They have other great brands too from the Emile Pernot Distillerie from Pontarlier, the Combier Distillerie and many others. 💚🧚🏻

I had no idea absinthe had such a story. It surprised me to hear it was illegal in France for too long. Great video!

I love this channel, not because I have a crush on Mmle Devine (a declared one, since most subscribers here clearly hide theirs, and instead beat around the bush with cheesy flirtation), but because all postings are amazing in one way or another. I dislike licorice, so theoretically absinthe or pastisse would be drinks I'd skip, but, nooo, I watch the whole thing like an adolescent in love. By the way, brilliant choice of Felix Nadar portraits for Baudelaire, and that fascinating creature, Edouard Manet at 3:40

Thanks for the history, I always thought there was a blanket ban on Absinthe, before it got revived. Though you would pour a dash or two for taste check.

Interesting video about an obscure drink called Absinthe. I learned some new things I didn't know about it's history. Thanks! 👍

Absolutely loved this history lesson. I confess that I somehow was aware of the hallucinogenic reputation of absinthe. I will now be able to enjoy reassured by fact. Thank you!

Brilliant video! I have loved Absinthe since my first sip back in the mid 00’s. Finally it is legal & I can order it myself. The Jades from Ted Breaux are wonderful. Nectar of the gods. We all owe Ted Breaux much gratitude for being a major force in getting the ban lifted here in the US. Santé 🧚

thanks for this! Sazeracs, and Jet Pilots are some of my favorite drinks. When bartending, i frequently have to explain the strange history of the spirit. Shout-out to StGeorge distillery, in Alameda, California!

Love how knowledgeable you are 🙌 Thanks, Cara. When you had your haircut, did you give to Locks of love? If so, it's was certainly appreciated!

Great Video Cara, well researched. I have a bottle of Trennet Absynth, made in Czech Republic. 60/% ABV. It works very well as a glass moistened, or bar spoon whatever the cocktail recipes say. I did have a couple of Death in the Afternoon drinks which were good using a bit more but I still have more than half a bottle left. Nick from York

I love the history, I love the nerdiness, and I had no idea you had a lawyer brain and OMG that explains so much (in a good way!)!!! :-)

My favorite absinthe is the American St. George absinthe verte. It isn't traditional, as it uses brandy as its base, but it's wonderful.

Good research about absinthe history. Then only thing, there is no historical evidence so far, that absinthe was distilled on larger scale in the Czech Republic (before communism). Havenrugger also pointed this out in his comment.

If you're ever in Switzerland and can pass by the Neuchâtel area, I highly recommend going to the Maison de l'Absinthe in the Val-de-Travers (where absinthe originated) As I say that I realise it wasn't very anglophone-friendly so if you speak French, German, or Italian or have someone who does, you should be fine
