Perhaps it once was, but today absinthe is not just a drink, it is a lifestyle with great heritage, steeped in intrigue.

Hapsburg Absinthe has perfected its collection to offer a range of wonderful absinthe experiences that are unique, imaginative and great tasting.

The Hapsburger Absinthe Quartier Latin range is a celebration of the vibrant bohemian lifestyle of Paris' Latin Quarter. Absinthe's popularity rose rapidly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially among Parisian artists and writers such as Baudelaire and Lautrec, who incorporated absinthe into their works. Today, the Latin Quarter in Paris, located on the left bank of the Seine, is as lively as ever, with a strong student population and numerous cafes and bistros where absinthe continues to be enjoyed.
