Great! Now the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans can live up to its name!
I've had Absinthe twice, and can't say its my favorite drink in the world. Give me more Grappa!

Often referred to as the Green Fairy, absinthe gets its chartreuse hue from wormwood, an herb that contains the chemical thujone, which is reputed to cause hallucinations. But despite years of research discrediting the transcendental effects, new bottles can be sold in the U.S. only if they are classified as thujone-free. Buy it and you'll only get burned. It is another "near beer".

Give me more Grappa! I lived in a town where the same factory made Grappa and Portland cement. True story.
