Production
The oil mix
Here, essential oils (obtained through distillation) are mixed with alcohol in an individual ratio. Artificial colors and sugar are often used in this type of production. It is the cheapest and easiest method, which is particularly suitable for mass production.The maceration
Here, no oils are used, but rather herbs in alcohol. The mixing ratio varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The herbs are left in the alcohol for a while and later filtered off. As a rule, the bitter taste of the wormwood is in the foreground with such products. Sometimes artificial colors are still used here to make the product market-compliant.The classic distillation
Absinthe was originally made as follows: A herbal mixture of large wormwood, green anise, fennel, hyssop, coriander, lemon balm, etc. is added to raw alcohol. After 12 to 24 hours, the same amount of water as originally raw alcohol is added. Then the whole thing is slowly distilled at about 85°C. The result is crystal clear and pure and is sold as such by Kübler, for example. Emile Pernot also offers a La Blanche. But you can also add some coloring as follows: The finished distillate is returned to the still and is heated to approx. 50°C. There are also hyssop and small wormwood (which is not very bitter). The whole thing is left for a few hours so that the chlorophyll is released from the leaves. The result is greenish or yellowish - depending on the herbal mixture. Of course, these herbs also give off aromas. After these operations, the absinthe is stored for a few months to mature.NEW
