they sell abinthe at some liquor stores here. But it probably isnt the "real" stuff. There are lots of fake ones out there.

The absinthe they sell in America is absinthe, but not technically, if that makes sense. The FDA has banned any drink containing Wormwood (Thujone, the chemical that comes from Wormwood, is banned by the FDA as a food ingredient), which is a main ingredient in absinthe, so the absinthe you buy here will not contain that herb. HOWEVER, you can buy several quality brands, such as Absinthe Herbsaint, straight from New Orleans. AND you can buy all of the ingredients legally to process absinthe yourself, if you're up to it. Keep in mind that if you import absinthe, it can and has been siezed in the past by Customs, as it probably will contain Thujone.

You can buy brewing kits for absinthe, and these kits do include Grand Wormwood.
