Grune Fee Absinthe
Grüne Fee Absinthe is a 65% ABV (130 proof) Austrian absinthe hand-crafted by the Fischer distilleries of Vienna from an original 1881 recipe — wormwood, salvia, peppermint, chamomile, and liquorice, distilled then blended for a bright-green absinthe with less anise than the traditional style.

Vienna's Green Hour
"Grüne Fee" means "green fairy" — and this is Vienna's take on her: an 1881 Fischer family recipe that dials back the anise and lets wormwood, mint, and chamomile lead, for a sweeter, more approachable absinthe that even mixes with cola. Imported by Marussia Beverages USA. See more from Grüne Fee or explore bold absinthes in our spirits collection.
Tasting Notes
Bright green in the glass. Intense herbaceous nose; the palate is bitter-spicy and wormwood-led with fennel, aniseed, and a cinnamon-touched sweetness, finishing long and bitter-spicy.
How to Enjoy
The classic preparation: pour over a sugar cube and drip ice water slowly to release the louche. Or keep it simple — chilled with cola, the Austrian way.
