Absinthe was first made, not in France, but just across the border in the Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland.
And a Swiss judge recently approved a request to give the region exclusive rights to produce it.
For the moment, this ruling applies only in Switzerland, which is not a member of the European Union - and so has limited impact.
But because of Switzerland's close ties with the EU, it is possible that the Swiss could seek to extend the ruling across the block.

#Absinthe was made legal in the rest of the European Union in 1988, provided the amount of #thujone falls within the agreed limit of 10mg/kg, or 35mg/kg for absinthe bitters.
In France, a decree was passed allowing absinthe to be sold but only if it was not actually called absinthe.

The artists obviously loved the #GreenFairy...
Some great absinthe cocktails have been born through history.
More information you can have from the bartenders in Absinthe House.
