Absinthe is distilled at high proof and is quite strong but it is served diluted with iced water. It is twice as strong as other spirits such as vodka and whisky.
Absinthe contains the herb wormwood which gives the drink its bitter taste. The chemical thujone is in wormwood which caused it to be banned in the early 1900s.
