Absinthe earned its legendary and mysterious status as the green-hued drink of choice for famous figures like Van Gogh and Hemingway who were devotees of the “Green Fairy.” This notorious liquor earned its reputation of being a creativity enhancer and aphrodisiac for over 200 years. Nearly a century after its global ban, absinthe is making a dramatic comeback as it is now legal.
