Product Description

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.

It took a little longer than I expected, but only just a little. First and foremost, I'm going to have to say that I didn't "see" anything. When I was reading through reviews before I bought my bottle, that's what I wanted to know; whether or not I would hallucinate. Maybe I didn't drink enough or maybe I didn't drink it fast enough. Me and two other friends had about 4 or 5 shots each and there's some left over that I'm going to drink soon. It has a VERY strong taste and smell. We were drinking it straight, no mixing. As for the effects, it was definately a different kind of buzz. It's like you're in a better state of mind than you normally are when drinking. I liked it. I'm ordering the original bitter next and soon."<br />

This stuff is great. Package arrived in perfect condition. Glad to see they don't skimp out on packaging. As a first time user/drinker of Absinthe I will have to say that this stuff is pretty good. Straight is a little too bitter for me but mix it as a cocktail or with a little Coke and it's great. Will have to do business again.<br />

God Damned....this is the shit!!! Just wanted to say thanks to the La Boheme folk, order arrived in perfect condition and superbly wrapped. Within seconds I was trying the original Absinthe Ritual way of drinking it. Bloody superb. It does take some getting used to it as the taste is very unique. Next drink I think I'll have will be with Red Bull and perhaps mix some up with Uncle Jack. This stuff is damned FINE......order with confidence in quality and in the team at La Boheme.<br /> You guys ROCK!!!"<br />

All I got to say, is I tried it once, and have since gone through two bottles in one year. It's wonderful. I find that Absinthe mixes well with Coke, classic or vanilla. I intend to get the Absinthe Bitter in the spring time. I would recommend this to any one who enjoys fine liquor and likes the "extra" kick that the wormwood brings to the table."<br />

Absolutely amazing!!!! First time and it just got me drunk the first time. I drank it too slow. Drinking it fast on my second night, I started to trip and got drunk. For first time absinthe drinkers, I recomend this strongly, but drink quick, but dont go killing yourself. Enjoy, off to try absinthe original bitter spirit next, let u know how it goes."<br />
