What kind of absinthe do y’all put in your sazerac?

Lucid, and here’s why:

Its creator is master distiller Ted Breaux. Ted was born in New Orleans. He was formally educated at LSU, ULL, and Tulane. His knowledge of chemistry learned from these fine institutions helped him establish proper thujone levels for absinthe to be safely marketed.

He is single handedly responsible for convincing legislators that there was no basis for absinthe to be illegal in the US. His Lucid brand was the first genuine absinthe made with Grande Wormwood to be legally sold in the US after a 100 year ban using historically accurate techniques. The green color is purely from the added botanicals and not from any added color that other absinthes rely on.

If you’re going to enjoy the official state cocktail of Louisiana and honor its historic relevance and elegance, then Lucid is the only way to go.

Also try his Perique liqueur distilled from tobacco.
