Absinthe Menu
Absinthe is a highly alcoholic distilled spirit, true absinthe is 68%-72% and must contain Wormwood, Artemisia Absinthium, Fennel, Foeniculum Vulgare, Anise-pimpinella Anisium These botanical’s give absinthe its recognisable bitter taste. For absinthe to be palatable you must dilute it with usually 4~6 parts iced water and add sugar to personal taste.

There are numerous myths surrounding this much maligned and misunderstood spirit everything from inspiration to hallucinations – come and find the truth at Polly.
