Here are some tips to help you in your search for the perfect quality Absinthe:-

– Wormwood is the important content for the Absinthe. There are a few websites which display the thujone content of Absinthes.

One can also find anise or aniseed and fennel as basic ingredient in Absinthe. Due to lack of anise content wormwood bitters are not considered as Absinthe. Everyone should know that the Czech Hill’s Anise Free Absinthe is also not a true Absinthe.
