absinthe
This spirit is historically associated with the "Green Fairy" (la fée verte) due to its vivid color and the hallucinations reported by 19th-century drinkers. While once banned in several countries under the belief that it caused madness or criminal behavior, modern understanding attributes these effects to high alcohol content and impurities rather than the wormwood itself.
In a culinary or mixology context, it is rarely consumed neat. The traditional ritual involves dripping water over a sugar cube resting on a perforated spoon, which causes the drink to turn cloudy, a process known as the louche.
