History
Created in Switzerland in the late 18th century, absinthe became the drink of choice for Parisian artists and writers. Blamed (incorrectly) for madness and social decay, it was banned in most countries by 1915. Scientific reevaluation led to relegalization in the 2000s, sparking renewed interest.
