Distiller Notes
For the perfect serve, slowly add 3 - 4 parts iced water to the absinthe and watch as it turns milky white and the aromas take on added complexity, filling the room. La Clandestine’s subtle flavors make it a natural fit for classic cocktails such as the Absinthe Frappé and Death in the Afternoon as well as for modern mixes like the Clandestino and Absinthe Eggnog.

Enjoyed for hundreds of years in Europe as a restorative and cure for many types of maladies, Absinthe reached its peak popularity in late 19th and early 20th century Parisian bars and cafés where it was a favorite of Hemingway, Joyce, Van Gogh and Picasso. Similar to Gin, Absinthe is a neutral, high proof spirit (110 to 144) infused with a variety of herbs and botanicals. These typically include green anise, sweet fennel and grand wormwood. Absinthe is most often light green in color but can also be clear.
