What is National Absinthe Day?
National Absinthe Day is also known as National Absinthe Day on March 5th. Many that are 21 years or older are able to enjoy absinthe, a drink that is popular in this region.
It's often mistaken for a liqueur, but it is really a spirit because it isn't sweetened. When categorizing absinthe, it is attributed to the vodkas, gins, and whiskeys..
The spirit is made by distillation of wormwood, fennel, anise, and other herbs. Absinthe's creation is traced to French doctor Pierre Ordinaire, a French doctor. He invented and sold the elixir in the early 19th century as a treatment for many illnesses.
It has a strong licorice flavor to it and has a high alcohol content. The spirit is often served with ice, a sugar cube placed on a slotted spoon over the glass, and water pouring over the sugar.
Artists and writers alike loved the drink, also known as the Green Fairy, the Green Goddess, or the Green Lady. It was also believed that hallucinogenic effects were once present.. Just as it was gaining a following, its reputation suffered as the century came to an end..
