Absinthe...the Green Fairy...La Fée Verte....no other drink has the same romantic history - the French
Impressionists....Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh....Paris in the Belle Epoque....the cafes of
Montmartre....the muse of writers from Verlaine and Rimbaud to Joyce and Hemingway. Of course, there's a
darker side to absinthe as well - no other drink has ever roused the same degree of passionate condemnation,
and no other drink has ever been banned outright in the way absinthe was in the years leading up to 1915.
