Amaro Nonino rose to fame off the back of this modern classic, which was created by Sam Ross at The Violet Hour in Chicago. In the early 1990s, after the Velvet Revolution, the Czech Republic received a surge of tourists willing to pay a premium for any bottled green (or bluish) liquid labeled ‘absinth’.
