Absinthe: A Journey Through Time

The origins of absinthe can be traced to the Swiss Alps in the 18th century. Initially conceived as a medicinal tonic, this herbal elixir quickly gained popularity as a recreational beverage. By the late 19th century, absinthe had become a staple in Parisian cafés, inspiring renowned artists and writers like Vincent van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway.

However, controversy surrounded absinthe due to its high alcohol content and the presence of thujone, a compound found in wormwood, one of its key ingredients. In the early 20th century, misinformation and prejudice led to widespread bans on absinthe in many countries.
