Nouvelle Orleans Absinthe Supérieure (or Nouvelle-Orleans).

A traditional libation from the “Paris of the New World” During the mid-19th century, New Orleans became home to many French immigrants, who brought with them their passion for absinthe. Local cafes, and even apothecaries, were serving up what were once deemed “healthy” absinthe cocktails. New Orleans-based Legendre Company established their own version of an artisanal Marseillaise absinthe, which quickly became a local icon. Today, that true old world absinthe returns to this country, with Jade Liqueur’s Nouvelle Orleans, an absinthe with a heritage rooted in the original New Orleans absinthes. The same spirit that made the Sazerac cocktail and absinthe frappe famous.

Native New Orleanian and absinthe scholar, T.A. Breaux has created a unique distillation process of stimulating herbes toniques, just as the Belle Époque apothecaries prescribed for various subtropical ailments. Jade offers a light, refreshing touch with a distinct floral finish.
