Yes, you can now legally buy absinthe in the United States for the first time since 1912. The U.S. Alcohol-Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has okayed people to chase the green faerie all you want.For those of you not in the know, absinthe is a spirit the main ingredients of which are grand wormwood, green anise, and florence fennel. It's a very strong spirit with the proof hitting about 124. There are multiple ways to drink absinthe, but it's usually diluted with something, typically ice-cold water poured over a sugar cube.

If you would like to thank anyone for the legalizing of absinthe, thank the friendly people at Lucid. They convinced the U.S Alcohol-Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau that absinthe wasn't any more harmful than any other alcohol.

Lucid hit stores this past week. A 750-milliliter bottle will run you about $59.95. Lucid is one of the highest quality absinthes on the market, well worth the buy. I'm very intrigued to see whether absinthe becomes as popular as it once was. I know that a few of my friends will be very excited.
