Absinthe is enjoying a revival in London bars after some notoriety in the early 19th century put it out of flavor. The infusion of wormwood was believed to endanger health, but any casualties were mush more likely ti have been the result of its high alcohol content. It can be as much as 140 proof - so it's probably best to stick to just one!
