Answer 3

Absinthes are legal to sell in the U.S. now, provided the thujone levels are below a certain amount.

Big absinthe snobs will claim that the thujone must be above a certain level to truly be absinthe, but historical documents show that recipes for absinthe varied greatly.

Most American-made absinthes are selling for $55 to $75 a bottle. Bottles from overseas can cost from about $50 (American) to $250, and cost plenty to ship.

The bottom line? If you bought a bottle of absinthe at a liquor store, it's a bottle of absinthe. The snobs will tell you otherwise, but they're just angry that the rest of us are horning in on their elitist hobby.

My husband, who is a former absinthe snob, is a huge fan of Sirene, an American-made absinthe made in Chicago.
