A scene imagined at Tortoni's, the Paris bar used by Manet in the late 19th century. Starting with a lithograph by Eugene Guérard, we see Parisian absinthe drinkers enjoying a Verte & travelling forward in time to agree that La Clandestine is better!

André Gill spoofed the military appetite for absinthe with his picture in L'Eclipse, in 1874. And now it's a video!

Deception & betrayal: defeated! At last: the film of a great absinthe book! The book by @evanrail.bsky.social is not just about absinthe: it’s also about how a plot was undone, and how the absinthe community came together as a result. It would make a great film!

Enjoy Mardi Gras even more! If you’re in NOLA for Mardi Gras, here’s a great way to start your day. An Absinthe Suissesse for breakfast or brunch. This is a classic way to start today in NOLA, and it's just as good elsewhere. Santé!

St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans at night. After a few glasses of absinthe! Happy Mardi Gras!

Death in the Afternoon - the legendary absinthe & champagne cocktail made famous by Hemingway - is as simple as it is unforgettable.
Perfect for Valentine's Day... or any afternoon that deserves a little romance.

For Valentine's Day, we've looked at a romantic setting in pre-ban France. Drinking a wedding toast with absinthe! Inspired by an old drawing in The Hour of Absinthe by

Late catching up with the amazing #absinthe studies of @drninastuder. She helped me find this drawing by G. Léonnec in which absinthe is shown as a romantic present, a drink for a sophisticated lady. We've updated it in 2 short clips here & added a blue bottle.

We found a photo of a 1780 copper engraving showing the beautiful area where Swiss absinthe was born. At that time, the women were making absinthe at home as a medicinal cure-all, but it looks like the men in our video already enjoyed absinthe!

Do you ever wonder what the Paris Green Hour was like? This video is based on Michelet's L'Heure de l'Absinthe which you can see at the Musée Carnavale in Paris.

The Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland is famous as the birthplace of absinthe. It is also famous as the home of the wonderful ibex. Luckily the ibex has not yet started drinking our absinthe.

Happy 194th birthday, Lewis Carroll. Famous for Alice in Wonderland. She drank from a brightly coloured bottle labelled Drink Me. Not a good idea! Don’t be seduced by brightly coloured bottles with brightly coloured “absinthe.” Drink me instead!

For #BlueMonday, we’ve added a blue fairy to a beautiful photo from @orlycatz. With La Clandestine, there’s no need to feel blue today.

So many different #Absinthe glasses. Some prefer a glass showing the correct measure. Interesting to see 19th century absinthe posters with champagne flutes: Jax from Florida thinks these make the best absinthe he's ever tasted! What do you think?

Here’s a picture that Denise Prisi supplied us a few years ago. A great picture of locals enjoying a glass or two of fine absinthe. Now a short film.

Like many preban paintings showing absinthe, Jean Béraud's Absinthe Drinkers shows gloomy drinkers in a gloomy setting. We believe they might have been happier with a fine absinthe, as shown here.

“Le Chat Noir” was a famous Parisian venue in the 19th century, and there are many historic posters linking #absinthe with the black cat. This postcard and others are more modern but have a good sense of fun. Which we’ve amplified here!
