Absinthe Minded GOLD by Absinthe Minded
On a cold day early in the year, I drank a lot of absinthe. This absinthe was made in Arizona. Concocted by the sharp-dressed duo behind Absinthe Minded, my licorice-touched spirit was born in Tempe at facilities owned by Adventurous Stills. The headiest absinthe they offer, Absinthe Minded GOLD, approaches rocket-fuel intensity at 70 percent ABV. Its recipe aims to closely track the Swiss original, wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and all. A few sips in, the ornate woods and linens and space within Zinc Bistro crisped into focus. The chatter-filled cool air felt hot and sharp. Life turned light and good, the kind of low-gravity joy that would become too rare in the rest of 2020.
