  • Balzac absinth meets lady in green

    Balzac absinth meets lady in green

    A mythical spirit with a greenish tint which has fueled several legends and rumors. The story of absinthe dates back several thousand years when its use was told during ancient Egypt. More precisely in the Ebers Papyrus, which is the oldest recorded medical treatise, written during the reign of Amenhotep I, recognized at that time for its medicinal properties; aphrodisiac and stimulating creativity. However, due to bad press and several unfortunate incidents, absinthe has long been the target of laws that made it illegal in several countries until recently.  

    Launched in 2018, Balzac Quebec absinthe was developed by Distillerie Mariana four years after its founding in Louiseville. For February, their absinthe liqueur is the star of our cocktail of the month. A simple way to introduce absinthe with freshness.
