It’s National Absinthe Day in the US, so I’m having a livestream on my YouTube channel at 3pm PST! Come join me for drinks and to celebrate Absinthe: the Green Goddess!

Nineteen years ago today, thanks to the efforts of my dear friend .a.breaux with his brand and many other wonderful people and entities, the US absinthe ban was lifted after 95 years! And in alignment with my friend , I haven’t just been celebrating one singular day, but this week to also acknowledge the lifting of the Swiss absinthe brand on March 1st of 2005.

It’s been a decade since I started posting absinthe reviews on my YouTube channel, and I still can’t believe where this journey has led me and the friends I’ve made along the way. I’ve become friends with the head of - who has been such a huge source of support, friendship, and education for the last decade.

I’ve gone to the historic where Lucid Absinthe Supérieure and are made. I’ve been to the absinthe capital of France in Pontarlier and to the birthplace of absinthe in the Val-de-Travers. I have met pioneers like Claude-Alain Bognon of who made absinthe even before the Swiss absinthe ban was lifted.

I was even inspired to release my own single because I was so inspired by absinthe, which not only allowed me to combine my two great loves, absinthe and opera, but also gave me the unbelievable opportunity to work with one of the most esteemed artists I’ve ever known, to create the album art for it.

It has also been a pleasure to befriend so many distillers along the way like Stefano Rossoni, , the female-founded , and so many others. Passing on knowledge to the general public has also been an immense privilege, telling people that no, absinthe has never been hallucinogenic, it’s not disgusting, and please don’t set it on fire! Friends don’t let friends burn absinthe, after all!

Indulge in your Goddess in a Glass today, mes amis! Have a moment to celebrate her today. 💚
