u'Psychedelic Jellyfish Absinthe

Tofino Distilling (73% ABV)

Embracing absinthe\u2019s rogue reputation with an overproof spirit flavoured by anise, fennel, hyssop, lemon balm and \u201cas much wormwood as we can,\u201d distillery co-founder GreenBarritto used a traditional 1858 recipe and had his product lab-tested to ensure safe thujone levels.

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to revive the fun element,\u201d says Barritto, who says tasting-room visitors can be a little scared of tasting the product initially. Whimsical, fluorescent-bright labels and absinthe cocktails like a lavender-tinged lemonade (see recipe) convert them. \u201cAt the end of the day it\u2019s a high-proof spirit with a cool lore. Is it going to make you hallucinate? No. But we can keep up the cryptic element of it.\u201d
