The
world of Absinthe is one of legends and mystery; it has been told
that Dr. Pierre Ordinaire in 1792 created the first true Absinthe
recipe in rural France. Shortly after the French Revolution, Dr.
Ordinaire traveled around the Val de Travers on his faithful horse,
Rocket, and sold his Absinthe initially as an all-purpose cure-all.
Although his intention was medicinal, Absinthe rapidly became the
recreational drink of choice. Before he knew it, Absinthe traveled
across the café tables from the south of France to the tables of
Montmartre in Paris. The legendary and mystical Absinthe ended up
gracing the lips of artists, musicians, writers and poets alike,
ultimately becoming the symbol of the free and easy bohemian spirit
for the masses.
This
brings us to today's era, where Absinthe Ordinaire recalls one of the
original and most commercially successful Absinthe recipes during the
glittering era of La Belle Époque Paris. Absinthe Ordinaire is still
handcrafted in rural southern France using only the highest quality
artisanal distillation methods and ingredients. Botanicals include
anise, sweet fennel, mugwort, star anise, balm, peppermint and of
course the legendary and notorious Wormwood, also known as artemisia
absinthium - Absinthe Ordinaire boasts superior authenticity.
