Devotee of the Green Fairy


In the canton of Neuchâtel a historical and controversial beverage was created. It may have been one of the first bad boys of the spirit world. It has inspired artist in all mediums and was given to French troops as a malaria treatment. Which in turn made this remarkably liquid popular in the bars, bistros, cafés, and cabarets of France.

La fée verte has been deemed a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug in liquid form. It was band in many countries and is still consumed to this day in many others.

Think it is time to venture down to Absinthe and see if the actual product can live up to its historical myth.
