Absinthe is a wormwood-infused liquor that gained unprecedented popularity in the late 19th century as the cocktail of choice throughout Europe and the United States.   It was banned in the early 1900s amid growing fears that it caused harmful mind-altering effects and dangerous hallucinations.

Should you desire a balancing sweetness, place the absinthe spoon on top of the rim of the glass and allow the water to drip over one or two sugar cubes when creating the louche.
