tHE LEGENDARY STORY OF ABSINTHE

Quickly nicknamed ‘The Green Fairy’ in reference to its supposedly « magical » properties, she had the power to drive people crazy.
Many tasting rituals would have appeared as the ‘drop by drop’ spoon ritual.
Full of meanings, she influenced and fueled the fantasies of many artists in those times, as the famous Vincent Van Gogh.
This drink both attractive and allegedly dangerous would end up being banned in France on March 16, 1915 to then reappear in 2011.
