Absinthe is a wonderful gift, it’s not only a noble spirit full of history, mythology, and tradition, but it’s also a lifestyle.
Real Absinthe Original is made by craftsmen distillers to a secret 200-year-old Swiss absinthe recipe and it is said by connoisseurs to compare with the rarest French cognacs. The complex and distinguished taste is rounded up by a well blended herbal mix with the pronounced taste of wormwood and coriander. In its elegant new bottle, this original absinthe looks good, it tastes good, it is good. Only the highest quality ingredients are used in its manufacture and it is guaranteed to be free of artificial colorants and chemicals.
Absinthe Original contains many herbal extracts including angelica, aniseed, coriander, hyssop, juniper, nutmeg and wormwood. Just as the original absinthes of Belle Époque, Absinthe Original too draws its powerful mind-bending buzz from Artemisia Absinthium, or grande wormwood, the notorious mountain plant whose strange effects have fascinated humanity since the times of the Ancients. Absinthe Original's fine deep olive green color occurs as a result of its natural ingredients with no artificial colorings added. This also explains why the color may appear slightly different from one bottle to the next. Absinthe Original may also change color over time. This is what makes our absinthe the most authentic and desired brand in the market. In fact, these subtle variations in color have always been considered the hallmark of high-quality, genuine, real Absinthe and in the Belle Époque period, it actually distinguished a genuine Absinthe from an imitation or artificially colored products.
Always drink absinthe well chilled either with a little sugar and water or as a base for your favorite absinthe drink. Either way, La Boheme Absinthe Original is one of life's great pleasures. And always remember, must be served over ice!

Did you know that...?
The medicinal use of wormwood dates back to at least 1600 B.C. The Egyptians used the bitter herb as an antiseptic, a stimulant and tonic, and as a remedy for fevers and menstrual pains. The Greeks prescribed it for jaundice, rheumatism, and anemia. The Romans used wormwood to aid digestion, for upset stomach and to cure bad breath. The leaves of the shrub-like perennial were also used to expel intestinal worms, hence its English name.
I received my order after waiting 2 days. My wife and I got a babysitter so we can share the absinthe experience together. We tried it the traditional way with the spoon and it was great. It leaves you with a buzz that feels good, but does not slow you down one bit. We also tried the one shot with the sugar on fire and that was my favorite. The taste is nice and bitter and the sugar makes it the perfect drink. For anyone willing to try something new, this is it.<br />
Though quite different from French absinthe, I was extremely pleased with Absinthe Original. The higher wormwood content may take a bit of getting used to (since it presents itself as a more pronounced bitterness at the back of the tongue), I find it an excellent punctuation to the complex herbal potpourri that is not weighed down by the excesive anisette flavour of a French absinthe.<br /> I fully intend to keep my liquor cabinet stocked with this brand, as it is the perfect drink to keep the palate entertained -- slowly sipping and dissecting the complex flavours."<br />
