I made a belle epoque Absinthe, A historic French absinthe popular between the mid-1800s and the early 1900s. There is a very interesting story behind its rise to popularity and its demonification. In a lot of ways its the time period that created the modern feelings of romance and mystique around absinthe.
But that's probably not why you are here. You want to know if A historically accurate absinthe will make you hallucinate. So I will make it, drink a decent amount and see if I trip balls.
For much more detail about the history and recipe check out this podcast:
