Publik Spotlight; Pernod Absinthe Superiore





PERNOD ABSINTHE
product of France shhh!!!

With the absinthe ban now lifted in the United States, the 19th-century classic returns to these shores under the Pernod Fils brand name. This small-batch spirit shows best as an aperitif before dinner (properly known in Paris as l'heure verte, or the green hour) to awaken the senses and whet the appetite.

Pernod Absinthe, made from a variety of plants, including the famous wormwood, became the source of inspiration and legend to many painters, writers and poets and enjoyed immense popularity both in France and throughout 19th century Europe. Banned in 1915, Absinthe is finally legally available, and the infamous "Green Fairy" deserves a rightful place in your liquor cabinet.

Inspired by the original Swiss recipe, Enjoy it in the traditional way, by adding water poured onto a sugar lump, or simply diluted with iced water. Or heck do it Czech style and dip, and lite the cube on fire! yeah that will show em'! Pernod is no joke its like 68% alcoholic goodness its gets in your head and stays there! I limit two per customer for that very reason! This aint Fear and Loathing Atlanta edition!

Here at Publik we love Absinthe like its our job! We love the stuff! We currently sell four distinct brands of Absinthe; Pernod(french), Mata Hari (Austria), Kubler (Swiss), RED (Kentucky). We also import the authentic sucre sugar cubes from the absinthe museum in New Orleans so yeah buddy we know our stuff... So next time your in our hood pull up a stool and sit a spell, drink on an a previously banned spirit and feel good about it!
