We are thrilled to see that Hillel has managed to get La Clandestine Blanche Intense from Absinth Depot in Berlin via an international traveller. He also seems happy with this 69% abv version of our Blanche!

Van Gogh's masterpieces are on show in Tokyo. Café Terrace at Night has no absinthe, so we asked the waitress to serve some! When in Tokyo, we recommend Bar Trench absinthe cocktails (last picture), Bar Tram, and other bars who serve absinthe the correct way!

Great to see that Assenzioriginale.it is now shipping absinthe to most countries in Europe, as well as Italy and Canada. We're thrilled that you can find our main absinthes here, as well as Butterfly Absinthe!

Great to see some of our newest & most interesting absinthes arriving in Vietnam! La Crème (essentially absinthe eggnog), and 1935, barrel aged in French oak for 6 years (as well as many other fine absinthes) are now available at Aviation Chamber in Ho Chi Minh City.

The perfect drink for Easter!
Absinthe #EggNog. What could be better? This drink proves that EggNog isn’t just for Christmas. Or perhaps this drink makes every day taste like Christmas!

In many ways Van Gogh (painted here by Toulouse Lautrec) could be viewed as a 20th century man. So imagining him with cars going past is not totally crazy!

The grande wormwood harvest in the foothills of the Swiss Alps, sometime before the ban. This is still done for us by hand today.

My distiller Claude-Alain Bugnon meets himself at six different times over the last 20 years! He makes great absinthe, good music, and loves walking in the birthplace of absinthe!

Summer's coming: time to try some #absinthecocktails. All these - and more - are on our website: links at the end of the film. Enjoy!

Happy #StPatricksDay with Green Spot and a green #absinthe: a perfect cocktail for today. Green Spot needs no introduction for Whiskey lovers. La Clandestine Verte is a full-flavoured green absinthe perfect in cocktails which call for just a few dashes of absinthe. #アブサン

It's #AbsintheWeek! The best week of the year: we celebrate the official return of Swiss absinthe (2005) & the return of absinthe to the USA (2007). La Clandestine was the first legal Swiss moonshine absinthe. Rare film from our 2008 U.S. launch event with Messrs. Bugnon & Breaux.

It’s #AbsintheWeek! Let’s celebrate the official return of Swiss #absinthe (March 1, 2005) & the eventual return of absinthe to the USA (March 5, 2007). #LaClandestine was the first moonshine absinthe to be legalised in Switzerland and one of the first absinthes to be launched in the USA!

A scene imagined at Tortoni's, the Paris bar used by Manet in the late 19th century. Starting with a lithograph by Eugene Guérard, we see Parisian absinthe drinkers enjoying a Verte & travelling forward in time to agree that La Clandestine is better!

André Gill spoofed the military appetite for absinthe with his picture in L'Eclipse, in 1874. And now it's a video!

Deception & betrayal: defeated! At last: the film of a great absinthe book! The book by @evanrail.bsky.social is not just about absinthe: it’s also about how a plot was undone, and how the absinthe community came together as a result. It would make a great film!

Enjoy Mardi Gras even more! If you’re in NOLA for Mardi Gras, here’s a great way to start your day. An Absinthe Suissesse for breakfast or brunch. This is a classic way to start today in NOLA, and it's just as good elsewhere. Santé!

Death in the Afternoon - the legendary absinthe & champagne cocktail made famous by Hemingway - is as simple as it is unforgettable.
Perfect for Valentine's Day... or any afternoon that deserves a little romance.

For Valentine's Day, we've looked at a romantic setting in pre-ban France. Drinking a wedding toast with absinthe! Inspired by an old drawing in The Hour of Absinthe by

Late catching up with the amazing #absinthe studies of @drninastuder. She helped me find this drawing by G. Léonnec in which absinthe is shown as a romantic present, a drink for a sophisticated lady. We've updated it in 2 short clips here & added a blue bottle.

We found a photo of a 1780 copper engraving showing the beautiful area where Swiss absinthe was born. At that time, the women were making absinthe at home as a medicinal cure-all, but it looks like the men in our video already enjoyed absinthe!

Do you ever wonder what the Paris Green Hour was like? This video is based on Michelet's L'Heure de l'Absinthe which you can see at the Musée Carnavale in Paris.

The famous "Absinthe Berthelot" poster was created by Thiriet in 1898. Like other posters of the time, it tells a moral story: in this case a boy steals absinthe from a man ogling a local woman. Turning the poster into a short film makes the plot clearer ..

The Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland is famous as the birthplace of absinthe. It is also famous as the home of the wonderful ibex. Luckily the ibex has not yet started drinking our absinthe.

Happy 194th birthday, Lewis Carroll. Famous for Alice in Wonderland. She drank from a brightly coloured bottle labelled Drink Me. Not a good idea! Don’t be seduced by brightly coloured bottles with brightly coloured “absinthe.” Drink me instead!
