Marilyn Manson is offering a new beverage.

http://www.mansinthe.com/

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the first comprehensive, international spirits judging ever held in the United States on an annual basis. Founded in 2000 by Anthony Dias Blue, the Executive Director of the San Francisco International Wine Competition and Carol Seibert, the Managing Director of the San Francisco International Wine Competition, the Spirits Competition continues to grow each year in entrants as well as in stature within the industry.

We’re very proud that Mansinthe won a gold medal at this prestigious event!

So it's real absinthe, available for purchase on-line, but is that really legal to purchase here in the states?
There is just ONE Mansinthe -there is NO “sans wormwood” version!
Well, of course!


A Warning About That Link: When I went to copy the quote above, I was surprised to see that this page is full of links to some online casino, even though the text and links are not displayed. That makes me suspicious of what else might be embedded in that page. Be warned!

We've purchased Absinthe from the Czech Republic, but if I recall, they call it Absinth.

I don't think that any Absinthe has wormwood in it any more.

That's not what that suspicious web page is saying.

Apparently they are now allowed to have wormwood in the Absinthe, but the thujone level is smaller.

Just remember - absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
