The Chicago Absinthe Society

Meet other local people who are interested in the famous French aperitif, Absinthe. Let's gather and discuss this amazing alcoholic beverage.

"Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the Absinthe wants your soul."
-From "Dracula" by Bram Stoker

NOTE: This Meetup group is open to those of legal drinking age (over 21). Absinthe is an alcoholic beverage, therefore, please enjoy in moderation.
