Liqueur: Mata Hari Absinthe Bohemian

Mata Hari Bohemian absinthe is a modern take on the ancient and notorious recipe. The “bohemian” style is said to be a specifically Austrian recipe dating back to 1881. Unlike the heavy anise-flavored (dominant black licorice) French version, this is meant to be much less heavily flavored and eminently more mixable in cocktails.

After a nearly one hundred year prohibition, absinthe has made its return to the United States. The infamous spirit is once again able to be enjoyed by citizens across the country, however, not all absinthes are created equal. The absinthe most people have been associated with is the French style drink. Characterized by a heavy anise (known to us as dark licorice) flavor, these absinthes are generally enjoyed only in the traditional ritual, with water and a little sugar, or maybe as a bitters substitute in a limited range of cocktails. Enjoyed in these more pure ways, absinthe, while exciting and delicious has limited its appeal and reach only to those who enjoyed the anise flavor. Bohemian style absinthe however, does not hail from France. In the case of Mata Hari absinthe, this bohemian recipe comes from Austria and has been in the Fischer family since 1881.
