Absinthe Ordinaire is made from natural, traditional Absinthe botanicals, not oils or essences, including a full measure of the legendary botanical Wormwood or Artemisia Absinthium. Some of the other botanicals that give Absinthe Ordinaire its unique and flavorful taste profile include Sweet Anise, Star Anise, Sweet Balm, Mugwort (rumored to stir human passions, perhaps the French touch!), and peppermint.

This is made in Forcalquier at Distilleries-Domaines de Provence in the south of France. It is distilled using the same artisanal methods from late nineteenth-century Paris.  Absinthe Ordinaire recalls one of the earliest absinthe recipes and the first commercially successful absinthe brand.

Wormwood, or Artemisia Absinthium, is a perennial herb that contains the volatile oil thujone. Wormwood is a hardy perennial, almost shrubby, growing up to 4 feet tall, its spreading branches covered with white, silky hairs. The leaves are spread apart and have an intense, persistent bitter flavor. The leaves are very pungent. They produce a sharp, acrid smell. Wormwood grows best in poor, dry sandy soils in a sunny location.

1. What is Absinthe Ordinaire?
Absinthe Ordinaire is a premium absinthe crafted using traditional methods, emphasizing quality and authenticity. This spirit is known for its rich herbal flavors and beautiful green color, often referred to as “the Green Fairy.” It’s a unique beverage that not only offers a delightful tasting experience but also a glimpse into the fascinating history and culture surrounding absinthe.

2. How should I enjoy Absinthe Ordinaire?
To fully appreciate the complex flavors of Ordinaire, we recommend the traditional preparation method: Pour a measured amount of absinthe into a glass, place a sugar cube on a slotted absinthe spoon over the glass, and slowly drip ice-cold water over the sugar. This process allows the absinthe to “louche,” transforming its appearance and enhancing its flavors. Serve it in a beautiful glass to elevate the experience further—indulge in the ritual and let your senses explore!
