National Absinthe Day is coming up on March 5, and of course, we have to celebrate over the next few days – first, with a history lesson. Made from the medicinal plant wormwood, absinthe is a green spirit with a long and whimsical story. While there has been evidence it existed in ancient cultures, modern-day absinthe made its debut in 1792 in Switzerland as an all-purpose patent remedy. It grew in popularity in the mid-1800s, so much so that the French named 5 p.m. l’heure verte (the green hour). ⁠ ⁠ Stay tuned for recipes, fun facts, and more as we count down to #NationalAbsintheDay.⁠ ⁠ Cover photo: Dee Dee Brown
