Lucid Absinthe Superieure

Lucid Absinthe Superieure is the first genuine absinthe made with real Grande Wormwood to be legally available in the United States after a 95-year ban.

Lucid Absinthe is made in strict accordance with traditional European methods in the historic Combier Distillery of the Loire Valley of France.  Designed by Gustave Eiffel in the 1850s, the distillery and copper alembic pot stills have been producing absinthe for over 100 years.

Made with whole European herbs, Lucid does not contain any added flavors or dyes.  Absinthe is a versatile spirit. The most traditional consumption method is “louching,” in which cold water and a sugar cube are dissolved into the absinthe, turning it a cloudy white color. Absinthe can also be consumed in a variety of classic and modern cocktails.

After launching Lucid Absinthe, world-renowned research scientist and absinthe distiller, T.A. Breaux launched his own line of super premium absinthes.

Introducing lucid, Absinthe Superieure. Lucid represents a breakthrough product for the U.S. market, as it is the first true, Grande Wormwood-based Absinthe of its type since before prohibition. Unlike imitators in the U.S. and many of the so-called “Absinthe” products that litter the international markets, lucid is crafted directly from select whole herbs, including Grande Wormwood, and never from cheaper assemblages, macerations, extracts, or oils.
