Lollyphile’s Absinthe Lollipop
After a month (or two) of holiday imbibing I take it easy during the first week of the year. So instead of a cocktail recipe, I wanted to share a fun find — Absinthe lollipops.
Available online from Lollyphile, these pops are substantial but won’t leave you tipsy, or talking to green fairies (that’s what the liquid stuff is for). They use real absinthe in these (excuse the pun) suckers, but during the cooking process the alcohol burns off. Legal levels of thujone (the alleged hallucination causing chemical found in wormwood) and a subtle licorice-green flavor remains. Yes, I said licorice-green flavor. (Turns out candied Absinthe is tough to describe.)
Made in San Francisco by Jason Lewis, a self-described candyphile, these lollipops are elegant conversation-starters. Give Absinthe lollipops as gifts, add them to packages, or share them as party favors.
They’re tasty, so remember to keep a couple for yourself.
Check out the Lollyphile website for a chuckle and more info:

Wasabi-ginger, and maple-bacon (yes, bacon) lollipops also available.
