La Fée XS Absinthe Française

My palate has truly changed. I recall going to bars in college and ordering Absinthe with sugar cubes dissolved and melted into it. But back then, I also enjoyed Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Breezes, and many other terrible drinks... I can't really judge if this is good or bad anymore because I'm not particularly fond of the flavor. So, I won't assign a rating, but it's definitely a blast from the past....

Anise, anise, anise, a little wormwood. Don't try it straight. It turns a creamy white when mixed with water and sugar. The flavors become more subdued and palatable then. Some individuals strongly dislike La Fee. I consider it the genuine article.

A sophisticated herbal appetizer/cordial made with local Grand Wormwood in Pontarlier, France. It has an herbal beginning, but a complex life led to a long anise end. March 2017
