Book Reviews of Absinthe, Sip of Seduction: A Contemporary Guide

Book Review: Ted Breaux has financial interest in several brands of Absinthe ...
Summary: 3 Stars

I just wanted to mention fairly that Ted Breaux (T. A . Breaux) in the book apparently contributes to reviews and critiques of various brands of the drink .
One should note that he has a major financial interest in the increasingly popular ' Lucid ' brand of Absinthe that is sold in the USA as well as a few other more expensive high end brands that he personally distills and has created ...Jade is his signature line ... beware . But in any case, glad that absinthe is finally being able to come out of the closet and be enjoyed again ...

Summary of Absinthe, Sip of Seduction: A Contemporary Guide

Absinthe is not a relic of the past; there is a vibrant and devoted contemporary scene focused exclusively around the notorious Green Fairy. Indeed, the liquor's lore piques the interest of many: Does the drink drive one to madness? Does it serve as a gateway to boundless creativity? Which is the best method for enjoying the drink--set aflame or chilled with ice and sugar? How can I get my hands on all of the beguiling absinthe antiques?

Answering these burning questions, authors Betina Wittels, Robert Hermesch, and T. A. Breaux, all astute absinthe connoisseurs, have updated their wildly successful book with an expanded historical section, new absinthe reviews to tantalize imbibers, sidebars peeking into various absinthe subcultures, stunning new imagery from both past and present, and much more. For those looking to begin their absinthe journey or for those who've been on the path for some time, this book is a must for those who fancy all things absinthe.
