How it is made
La Fee Absinthe Blanche is made from a blend of high-quality botanicals, including wormwood, anise, and fennel. The production process involves distillation, where these botanicals are steeped in alcohol and then distilled to extract their flavors. The result is a clear spirit that retains the essential oils of the herbs, providing a rich and aromatic experience.
History
Absinthe has a storied history, originating in the late 18th century in Switzerland. La Fee Absinthe Blanche was created as part of a revival of absinthe culture in the early 21st century, aiming to provide a high-quality, authentic absinthe experience. The name 'La Fee' translates to 'The Fairy,' a nod to the mythical qualities often associated with absinthe and its historical reputation as a muse for artists and writers.
In cocktails
Bartenders use La Fee Absinthe Blanche in a variety of cocktails, particularly those that benefit from its herbal complexity and anise flavor. It can be used in classic cocktails like the Sazerac or as a rinse in drinks to impart a subtle flavor. When serving, it is often recommended to dilute it with water or serve it with sugar to balance its strong herbal notes.
Worth knowing
Absinthe was famously banned in many countries in the early 20th century due to its association with hallucinations and bohemian culture, but it has since made a comeback and is now legally produced in many regions.
