Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Ditch that vodka tonic for something more unusual
When we think of the “Green Fairy,” we immediately imagine Al Gore in his bi-curious days. (And for legal reasons, we mean bi-partisan, of course.) But most of the world hears the term and immediately thinks of Absinthe, the mysterious mind-altering liquor that’s the stuff of legend.
For decades, artists supposedly drank the beverage before creating some of their best works. Van Gogh’s whole ear-removal hissy tantrum was apparently because of Absinthe. More recently, Kylie Minogue fluttered on-screen as a literal green fairy (voiced by Ozzy Osbourne, no less) during an Absinthe hallucination in Moulin Rouge.
