Fast Facts

• While Pernod’s absinthe is not hallucinogenic, it’s not for the faint of heart-it’s 136-proof.
• The brand calls itself the “original absinthe,” since its founder Henri-Louis Pernod helped create the first commercial absinthe distillery in 1798.
• The spirit is flavored with three-main ingredients: wormwood, fennel and star anise.
• Absinthe was banned in the United States in 1912. Pernod reintroduced its spirit to America in 2007 after it became legal again.
