(136 proof). The recipe is based primarily on grand wormwood (artemisia absinthium). Other traditional herbs like anise and fennel are used to give this Absinthe a pleasantly fresh body. Nevertheless, the wormwood in the recipe gives Strong68 a slightly bitter taste. Therefore, we recommend preparing your glass of Absinthe according to the classic French Absinthe ritual with ice-cold water and 1-2 sugar cubes (more info about the ritual can be found below).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong68 is as well perfectly suitable for Absintheurs who are looking for a classic manufacturing process. The Absinthe is a distilled spirit (instead of being an oil mix or macerate) and is naturally colored using herbs and no coloring. The wormwood is locally cultivated on the fields of the distillery in France, which guarantees premium quality. The alcoholic strength is as well set to the classic level of 68% by volume. Only at that level, the plant-based amber-green color of the spirit is preserved. Overall, this Absinthe is like in the old days. If you are looking for the real thing, Absinthe Strong68 is your choice. It is important to point out, that Absinthe is not a drug. You will not (!) hallucinate (sorry). Nevertheless, this Absinthe should be consumed responsibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to drink Strong68 Absinthe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should drink Strong68 according to the classic French Absinthe ritual. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this traditional ritual. This is how it works: First, you fill some Absinthe into the glass (approx. 1 oz). Then you place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. You can use a water carafe or - even more professional - an Absinthe fountain for that. We recommend a ratio of one part Absinthe to three parts water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with sugared water and magically clouds from amber-green to an opalescent white color. This is called the \"louche\". Finally, stir the Absinthe with a spoon. Your glass of Absinthe is prepared!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA final note: We do not recommend burning the sugar cube, this is sometimes promoted. But this is (1.) dangerous as Absinthe is 136 proof, (2.) not historically authentic and (3.) destroys the aroma of the fine spirit. Drink Absinthe the traditional like we described above. This is simply the best and most authentic way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALANDIA Spirits","offers":[{"title":"50 ml \/ 68%","offer_id":52730333692243,"sku":"1482","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9920\/9043\/files\/absinthe-strong68-mini-label.jpg?v=1767785937","url":"https:\/\/www.absinth-alandia.de\/en\/products\/strong68-mini","provider":"ALANDIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
