The First Legal Absinthe in the US:
Absinthe has a storied past, rife with allure and controversy. In the late 18th century, Dr. Pierre Ordinaire crafted this verdant elixir as a medicinal tonic. It quickly captivated Switzerland and France, transforming Happy Hour into the renowned "Green Hour." This spirit became synonymous with Parisian culture, art, and innovation.
However, its popularity sparked rumors and conspiracies. By 1912, winemakers and critics fueled a ban that silenced the Green Fairy in the United States for nearly a century. In 2007, Absinthe’s reputation was redeemed when Lucid convinced the U.S. government that this iconic spirit was safe and refined. Thus, Lucid Absinthe Supérieure became the first legal Absinthe available in America since the ban.
Lucid is an authentic Absinthe crafted with real Grande Wormwood—no, not a worm, but a fragrant herb pivotal to its unique character. Following original pre-ban recipes, Lucid is a meticulous blend of Grande Wormwood, green anise, and sweet fennel. At an impressive 124 proof, this luminous Green Fairy invites you to step back into the Belle Époque of Paris, evoking the artistic spirit of an era filled with creativity and bohemian flair.
Every detail in Lucid’s production adheres to rigorous standards, ensuring the tradition and quality of this legendary drink. If you're seeking a taste of the extravagant, the authentic, and the historic, look no further than Lucid Absinthe Supérieure—a timeless journey into the heart of Absinthe’s captivating legacy.
