Absinthe is a drink make from herbs mainly Wormwood, Anise and Fennel. It has been a traditional alcoholic beverage in France for centuries. You may know it from paintings by many French impressionists.

"Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pablo Picasso filled the glasses of cafe patrons with absinthe in their paintings. Absinthe was a drink of aesthetes. Yet it was not art, but necessity that first helped popularize absinthe: It was included in the rations of French soldiers who marched off to colonize Algeria in the 1840s."
