Absinthe (also called absinthe)

Absinthe, also called absinthe, belongs to the wormwood spirits and is an alcoholic beverage traditionally made from wormwood, anise, fennel, a variety of other herbs (depending on the recipe), and alcohol.

Most absinthe brands are green, hence absinthe is also called "The Green Fairy" (French: La fée verte). The alcohol content is typically between 45 and 89 percent by volume, placing it among the stronger spirits. Due to the use of bitter-tasting herbs, especially wormwood, absinthe is considered a bitter spirit, although it doesn't necessarily taste bitter.
