Evolution of alcohol can be traced when humans learned the art of fermentation of various seeds and foods from the early times. Absinthe may be one of the results of extremes of evolution.
Absinthe is categorized as a highly distilled spirit with alcohol by volume range of 45%-74%. It has a greenish appearance because the spirit is generally extracted from flowers and leaves of Artemisia Absinthium(Grand Wormwood) and is mixed with green anise, sweet fennel, other medical and culinary herbs. These factors have helped absinthe earn its reputation as one of the strongest liquor brands in the world.
