About this absinthe
Nouvelle Orleans Superieure is an absinthe from Jade Liqueurs, the label of Ted Breaux, made in France and bottled at a full 68% ABV. The name looks to New Orleans, the city of the Sazerac.
At this strength, absinthe is made for dilution. Expect the category's anise and fennel lead with a bitter wormwood edge, turning cloudy as iced water is dripped in. Serve it as a slow aperitif ritual at the bar, or use a small measure to rinse the glass for a Sazerac or a Corpse Reviver No. 2.
