Evan Rael, a journalist and author of "The Absinthe Forger," and Nina Stutter, a historian and author of "The Hour of Absinthe," dive into the enchanting world of absinthe. They discuss its transformation from the 'green muse' of 19th-century artists to a vilified drink blamed for social decline. The duo unpacks the myths surrounding its notorious effects, its cultural significance in colonial France, and the clever ways clandestine distillers kept the spirit alive during prohibition. Collectors and modern-day enthusiasts also add to absinthe's rich narrative!
