Absinthe

n. wormwood, woody herbaceous plant which yields a bitter oil; alcoholic liqueur containing wormwood

Absinthe (also absinth, absenta) (English: ; French: ) is a distilled, highly alcoholic (usually 68-80%) anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called grand wormwood or Absinth wormwood. Absinthe is typically green (either naturally or with added color) or clear and is often referred to as la Fée Verte ('The Green Fairy'). Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a liquor or spirit. Absinthe is uncommon among spirits in that it is bottled at a high proof but consumed diluted with water to the strength of wine (see Drink Preparation/Ritual).
