The Absinthe Frappé

Bag om The Absinthe Frappé

"The Absinthe Frappâe is a journey through the history of absinthe, its origins, and its influences, culminating in the story of the iconic New Orleans cocktail, the absinthe frappâe. This book begins with the history of absinthe and explores the fascination with the liquor in the nineteenth century, sharing the stories of artists who were influenced by absinthe and how this liquor became a regular part of nineteenth-century life (particularly in France). From there, The Absinthe Frappâe crosses an ocean to tell the story of absinthe in New Orleans. Because of New Orleans's relationship with and loyalty to France, it's no surprise that the drink had a foothold on the citizens here! Songy reveals how the Absinthe Frappâe was invented and tells delves into the origins and history of the drink's first home, the Old Absinthe House in New Orleans. The book explores the ban of absinthe in the United States and Europe, the reasons for the ban, and the reasons that it was unjust, examining New Orleans's response to the absinthe ban and to Prohibition more broadly. Finally, Songy discusses the lifting of the absinthe ban in 2007, a change largely spearheaded by New Orleans scientist Theodore Breaux"--
