الإنتاج
The three main herbs used to produce absinthe are grande wormwood, green anise, and florence fennel, which are often called "the holy trinity."[1] Many other herbs may be used as well, such as petite wormwood (Artemisia pontica or Roman wormwood), hyssop, melissa, star anise, angelica root, Sweet Flag, dittany leaves, coriander, veronica, juniper, جوزة الطيب, and various mountain herbs.
Modern absinthe is often produced by mixing steam-distilled oils in high-proof alcohol, and is called an oil-mix.
NOTE: Absinthe can also be naturally colored red using hibiscus flowers. This is called a rouge or rose absinthe. As of now, only one historical rouge brand has been discovered[1].

Spurred by the temperance movement and wine makers' associations, absinthe was publicly associated with violent crimes and social disorder.
A critic said that:
| ” | Absinthe makes you crazy and criminal, provokes epilepsy and tuberculosis, and has killed thousands of French people. It makes a ferocious beast of man, a martyr of woman, and a degenerate of the infant, it disorganizes and ruins the family and menaces the future of the country.[1] | “ |
Edgar Degas’ 1876 painting L’Absinthe ("Absinthe") (now at the Musée d’Orsay) epitomized the popular view of absinthe 'addicts' as sodden and benumbed. Although he mentioned it only once by name, Émile Zola described their serious intoxication in his novel L’Assommoir:
| ” | Boche had known a joiner who had stripped himself stark naked in the rue Saint-Martin and died doing the polka—he was an absinthe-drinker.[1] | “ |
In Switzerland, the ban drove absinthe underground. Evidence suggests small home clandestine distillers have been producing absinthe after the ban, focusing on Les Blanches or Les Bleues as it was easier to disguise a clear product as non-absinthe.
Many countries never banned absinthe, notably Britain, where absinthe had not been as popular as in mainland Europe.
