Today, following the relegalization of absinthe in various markets, the modern day giant, Pernod-Ricard, has released an absinthe made from extracts and colorants and claimed to be “inspired by the old formula”.However, independent reviews reveal this product to be far more similar to its cousin, the contemporary Pernod liqueur d’anise, than the historic pre-1915 drink. With absinthe gaining some commercial exposure by appearing in a range of movies, including From Hell, Euro Trip, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Moulin Rouge!, Pernod-Ricard’s absinthe has enjoyed some modest success in France and other countries in the EU.
