An Evening of Absinthe at the Apothecary

Step into an immersive evening that blends history, horticulture, and hands‑on learning. It will unfold in three engaging parts, beginning with a guided garden tour where you’ll discover the plants traditionally used to make absinthe, including anise, fennel, wormwood, lemon balm, and hyssop. From there, explore the rich history of absinthe—from its origins as a medicinal to its evolution into the iconic green liquor. Along the way, common myths surrounding absinthe will be dispelled, shedding light on how and why it gained its mysterious reputation.

The evening concludes with a demonstration of how absinthe is made, followed by a tasting of absinthe accompanied by a simple charcuterie-style spread of cheese and crackers. This is a unique opportunity to learn how a once‑forbidden spirit was crafted, used, and enjoyed through the centuries.
