Hand crafted by renowned Fischer distilleries in Vienna, Austria, Grüne Fee is blended after distillation with the traditional ingredients: wormwood, salvia, peppermint, chamomile, liquorice, and more. It has a bright green color and less anise than traditional absinthe, making it perfect for cocktails. It is finished at a traditional 65% alcohol by volume, to preserve and present this unusual and delicious combination of ingredients at their best. The original recipe was actually medicinal in nature, intended to act as a muscle relaxant. However, in the 19th century, absinthe became an elixir used by artists and writers alike to boost creativity. Today, it has become an ingredient in many complex cocktails.
