Absinthe Skull 89.9% Red 70cl.

PREPARATION

The Calavera Absinthe 89.90 Red is made from the maceration of the wormwood plant (artemisia absinthium), a member of the large family of Asteraceae, which includes daisies and sunflowers. Other botanicals such as anise and fennel are also included in the mix, providing a characteristic flavor to Absinthe. Since there are very few rules governing the production of Absinthe, the list of potential ingredients is very extensive. The exact combination of herbs used depends on the producer and in some cases may vary from batch to batch. Absinthe, symbolizing the Parisian bohemian movement of the late 19th century, has a complex and controversial history. The birthplace of modern absinthe, as we know it today, is the Val de Travers, a valley just west of Lake Neuchatel, western Switzerland. Although the exact origins of the drink are difficult to pin down, there is evidence that Artemisia absinthium was used to make drinks in Egypt and Greece in the 1500s BC.
