There are all kinds of legends, misconceptions, and Hollywood representations of how to consume absinthe. Absintherie hopes to teach tourists the difference between what’s real and what’s rumor. Among the lessons: liquor isn’t your only option. Absinthe ice cream, chocolate, coffee, and beer are on the menu. Feel free to ask the staff for advice on choosing between the 100 different types on offer as well as how to properly imbibe. The gift shop is also stocked with souvenirs for the spirit-lover in your life, and they showcase a variety of bottles and serving utensils connected to the drink’s history.
