Absinthe is a strong, herb-infused, alcoholic beverage that was extremely popular with artists and authors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Due to its green color and purported hallucinogenic qualities, it is often referred to as “The Green Fairy.” These Absinthe Mints are anise flavored (the predominant flavor of absinthe) and come in a cool art nouveau tin complete with flying green devil fairies! Each 2-1/4" round tin contains one hundred mints.
