It is an emerald green drink (due to the presence of chlorophyll) which is very bitter (due to the presence of absinthin) and is therefore traditionally diluted with cold water which is poured over a perforated spoonful of sugar into a glass containing a shot of absinthe.
Two kinds of absinthe, or wormwood, are used in making the liqueur, the great and the small, the first, for its bitter qualities, and the last, which is gathered immature, chiefly to act in giving the delicate green colour.
Since wine was considered a healthy drink and absinthe was the most popular liqueur of its time, absinthe was blamed for many alcohol-related problems and became the main target of early prohibition efforts in France.
