March 5th is National Absinthe Day

March 5 is National Absinthe Day; celebrate the  revival of this historic spirit with Lucid Absinthe, the first absinthe to be legalized in the U.S. in 2007!

Absinthe achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in the late 19th and early 20th century France, however, due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists and was banned. Now that the prohibition is over, absinthe is making a comeback after 95 years – and taking consumers along for the ride.

In America, there is no better way to experience absinthe than with Lucid Absinthe Supérieure, the first genuine absinthe made with real Grande Wormwood to be legally available in the U.S.  Though many consumers are excited to welcome this mysterious and misunderstood spirit back into their home bar and cocktail glass, many do not know how to properly consume it.
