With absinthe back on the legal market, it was only a matter of time until absinthe-related products started appearing. San Francisco company Lit Absinthe was quick to the draw. It turned the adult spirit into a childhood treat—a natural combination, like fake cigarettes! I’m not the biggest fan of hard candy so I was hesitant at first, but my curiosity (and sweet tooth) got the best of me. Lit Absinthe Lollipops are nicely sweet, make your tongue tingle after a few licks, and are far superior in their anise flavor than those shoddy black jelly beans you find at the corner store. The candy-making process burns off all the alcohol, leaving just the good flavor.
