Lucid Absinthe Supérieure 375ml
The Lucid Absinthe Supérieure 375ml is the genuine green fairy—revived and reimagined for modern connoisseurs. Crafted at the historic Combier Distillery in Saumur, France, using original recipes and methods from the Belle Époque, Lucid was the first genuine absinthe legally available in the U.S. after the ban was lifted in 2007. Distilled from whole-botanical ingredients and natural wormwood, it captures the authentic flavor and mystique of traditional French absinthe.
Why Buy Lucid Absinthe Supérieure?
Because Lucid is more than a spirit—it’s a resurrection of history. Developed by absinthe historian Ted Breaux, this expression bridges the gap between old-world authenticity and modern refinement. Using 19th-century distillation techniques and 100% natural botanicals, Lucid delivers the same herbal, anise-driven character that once captivated Parisian artists and intellectuals. The 375ml size makes it perfect for enthusiasts looking to explore authentic absinthe without compromise.
The Background
Lucid is produced at the renowned Combier Distillery, built in 1834 and famed for its copper alembic stills designed by Gustave Eiffel. Every drop is made from traditional absinthe ingredients—Grande Wormwood, Green Anise, Sweet Fennel, and other proprietary herbs—distilled to exacting standards. No artificial colors or flavors are added, allowing the spirit’s natural hue and complex bouquet to shine.

The Story
Lucid Absinthe Supérieure stands as both a cultural revival and a technical masterpiece.

Lucid brought it back to the world stage, restoring absinthe’s rightful place as a symbol of creativity, sophistication, and mystery. Today, it continues to represent authenticity and artistry in every pour.
