  Absinthe is usually a strong liquor which is flavored with herbal plants such as grande wormwood (artemisia absinthium), aniseed and fennel. In addition, it sometimes contains petite wormwood (artemisia pontica). The aniseed provides the drink its wonderful anise taste and also the wormwood gives the Absinthe its characteristic bitter or slightly sour taste.
  
  Grande wormwood consists of thujone, named 3 thujamone or 3 sabinone via the book The IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry. Thujone is a ketone and a monoterpene like the other terpenes, menthol and camphor. Additional names that thujone obtained from wormwood has been termed as are Absinthol, salvinol and tanacetone.
  
  Thujone is the reason why Absinthe was banned in many countries during the early 1900s. It was the thujone which was held responsible for the insanity and suicide of Van Gogh and many artists and writers reported that drinking Absinthe afforded them their genius and motivation by way of dreams and hallucinations. The renowned Absinthe drinker Oscar Wilde claimed of Absinthe:
  "After the first glass of Absinthe you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world." You will never know what would happen after having a whole bottle?!
  
  We now know that Absinthe is not any more dangerous than some other strong spirit just like vodka and whisky, though it is twice the strength. Studies have shown that Absinthe only consists of traces of thujone and that it is not likely to consume enough Absinthe for thujone to have any negative or side effects. It will not cause you to hallucinate or go insane and it's now legal in the majority of countries. It remains illegal in Ireland nevertheless the Irish can order it from abroad and get it shipped for private consumption.
  
  You can make your personal bottled Absinthe by using Absinthe essences from AbsintheKit.com. These essences are manufactured by distilling classic Absinthe herbs and all you have to do is to mix them together with vodka or Everclear - a straightforward and economical way to make Absinthe.
  
  What to Mix Absinthe With
  
  Given that Absinthe is legal in many countries, we could test out utilizing it in cocktails or produce classic Absinthe cocktails such as the New Orleans Sazerac or Death in the Afternoon.
  
  Sazerac Recipe
  
  1 teaspoon of a top quality Absinthe
  Ice cubes
  A sugar cube or perhaps 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  1 ½ ounces of Rye whisky (not bourbon)
  3 dashes of angostura bitters
  1 Lemon peel twist
  
  Freeze a glass within your freezer.
  Swirl the Absinthe around the glass to coat the sides and also base of the glass. Throw away (or drink!) the excess.
  Place the many other ingredients within a cocktail shaker or mixer and shake for approximately ½ a minute.
  Pour into the glass, adding the lemon peel.
  
  Death in the Afternoon
  
  5 ounces of chilled champagne mixed with 1 ounce of Absinthe - scrumptious!
  
  Some people prefer to use mixers such as lemonade, 7UP and cherryade with their Absinthe and I have even been aware of Red Bull being mixed with Absinthe! Be resourceful when deciding what to mix Absinthe with, use recipes off the Internet but give them your own twist or make-up your own. on line fraud
