From the very first sip, cannabis absinthe feels like embarking on a time journey through the smoky saloon bars of the 19th century and the sun-drenched hemp fields of the 21st century at once. Few other combinations so skillfully blend our fascination with time-honored herbal liqueurs and modern plant culture. Whether enjoyed on a mild summer evening on the terrace or as a conversation starter at your home bar—cannabis Absinthe is more than just a drink; it is a small journey of discovery in terms of aroma, effects, and ritual. In this article, you will not only get to know the most important varieties and their flavors, but also learn how to craft your own without venturing into legal gray areas.
What is Cannabis Absinthe?
When we talk about cannabis absinthe, we generally mean a distillate that combines the classic absinthe herbs—wormwood, anise, fennel—with cannabis-based ingredients. Depending on the method, this can be a simple maceration of dried Flowers or a complex distillate in which essential hemp oils are incorporated. Before production, decarboxylation of the Flowers often takes place, where gentle heating in the oven converts inactive cannabinoid acids into their active forms. The plant fibers are then added to the high-proof absinthe, where they steep at room temperature for up to 48 hours. For a traditional approach, the mixture is carefully filtered and then bottled in dark glass for several weeks to allow the bouquet to develop. Legally, in Germany, anything below 0.2% THC is generally permitted, while higher concentrations are subject to strict review.
Euphoria Cannabis Absinthe – Effects, Aroma, and Experience
Euphoria cannabis absinthe is a variety specifically designed to deliver a comprehensive enjoyment experience. Typically, it features a CBD-dominant profile that promotes relaxation, paired with a subtle THC note responsible for a mild “head high.”
- Aroma: A composition of spicy anise, fresh fennel flower, and a minty hint of hemp – almost like a walk through an herb garden after the rain
- effects: Gentle onset after about 10–15 minutes, heightens sensory perception, and allows the body to relax pleasantly
- Experience: Imagine sitting around a campfire with friends, while a mild euphoria creates a relaxed atmosphere
Last week, I served euphoria cannabis absinth at a garden party and was surprised at how it amazed even dedicated absinthe enthusiasts.
Absinth Cannabis: Origins and Distinctions
absinth cannabis may sound futuristic, but the principle of transforming intoxicating plants into a distillate dates back to the 19th century. As early as the Belle Époque, Parisian pharmacists experimented with various herbal combinations to serve their guests a “living water.” It was only with the rediscovery of CBD and the rise of the craft spirits scene after 2000 that the idea came into the spotlight. While classic absinthe relies primarily on thujone-rich wormwood, in Absinth Cannabis, the cannabinoid “kick” takes the place of the bitter main character. Today, modern micro-distilleries combine both so skillfully that the result is more reminiscent of a fine liqueur than an ouzo derivative.
Absinth and Cannabis: Synergy Effects and Risks
Combining absinth and cannabis creates a subtle harmony, but it can also be unexpectedly intense. Thujone acts on GABA receptors, THC binds to CB1 receptors – together they promote relaxation and creativity, but overdosing can cause dizziness or nausea.
- Advantages: Deep relaxation, creative flashes of inspiration, diverse aromas
- Risks: Headaches, disorientation, in the worst case, feelings of panic
- Practical tip: Do not drink an entire dose at once; sip slowly and drink water in between
A friend once reported that after her first glass of absinth-cannabis mix, the pictures on the wall suddenly came to life. So, it is best to take dosing seriously!

Cannabis Absinth 80 – high strength, high responsibility
With cannabis absinth 80, you encounter an alcohol content of 80%, which makes many cocktails seem basic by comparison. This requires a respectful approach:
- Dosage: Start with 0.3–0.5 cl; it is better to refill several times than to pour too much at once.
- Ritual: Place a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon and dissolve it drop by drop with ice-cold water—this releases the full bouquet.
- Pauses: Wait two to three minutes between each sip to moderate the peak effects.
If you manage to tame the temperament of this distillate, every drop becomes an intense explosion of flavor.
Rodnik’s Cannabis Absinthe in Practical Testing
Rodnik’s Cannabis Absinthe impresses with its dark, almost mystical bottle, which, when poured, is somewhat reminiscent of a witch’s brew. The test revealed:
- Potency: With around 5% THC content, it is perfect for beginners who do not want to go overboard or become overwhelmed.
- Taste: Balanced anise with a sweet finish reminiscent of marzipan, complemented by a green hemp note.
- Value for Money: Around €30 for 500 ml—fair, considering that real Flower extracts and a complex distillation process are involved.
My tip: Chill briefly before serving and serve neat in small glasses. This allows the bouquet to unfold at its best.
