    Being unacquainted with Absinthe's characteristics, I bought a bottle and when I realized I had quite a bit, I put water in it to get the level up so the rest of the family wouldn't notice how much I drank. The way my heart sank when the clear green turned milky white when I added the water is something I can laugh at now. At the time, I was questioned about this and had to admit what I did.

That was a widespread myth proclaimed because absinthe was gaining so much popularity that it was hurting the French wine industry. They made propaganda posters that would try to detur people from drinking it. I can also tell you that I never have had any issues drinking the fine spirit. If prepared correctly it is a very refreshing beverage. (I'm my opinion)

      Any of the Jades are high quality. Jade Terminus Oxygénée is my favorite. Groen Opal is also very good. If you're looking for some that's fairly easy to find here in the states, Pernod Orignale is a good choice. Just make sure it's the Pernod absinthe and not the pastis. Usually around 70+ dollars a bottle. St. George is probably the easiest to find, but it's a little off if ur looking for a classic tasting absinthe.
