P<\/span>icture the heavenly death of lab rats subjected to absinthe tests, like those reported in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of 1894<\/em>: \u201cThe guinea-pigs utilized by Cad\u00e9ac and Albin Menuier in studying the action of the vapor of the essence of hyssop, were victims of the incense of this poetic and biblical plant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you seeing the critters in an absinthe den, indulging properly? A glass urn, riddled with spigots, pulses slow drops of water, leaky-faucet-style, onto a sugar cube. The sugar is perched on a slotted spoon, the spoon straddling a cocktail glass with a splash of absinthe in its cup. If these methods\u2014with their tubes and green tonic, with a touch of the match to singe the sugar\u2014seem those of an apothecary, you\u2019re not far off: Many of the curatives of the fin de si\u00e8cle seemed straight from the saloon, with the pharmacist and bartender brothers-in-arms.<\/p>\n

Toss into this partnership the local newspaper, which funded its yellow journalism with column after column of advertisements for medicine and liquor both, while also running full-page stories on the perils of the very products it pushed.<\/p>\n

\u201cGullible America will spend this year some seventy-five millions of dollars in the purchase of patent medicines \u2026 it will swallow huge quantities of alcohol, an appalling amount of opiates and narcotics \u2026 and far in excess of all other ingredients, undiluted fraud.\u201d This comes from The Great American Fraud, an expos\u00e9 by Samuel Hopkins Adams published in 1905, which led to the first national food and drug laws. The article was particularly focused on Peruna, a popular medicine (and major advertiser) that was at least half \u201ccologne spirits\u201d (the druggist\u2019s term for alcohol), the other half water, with a little cubeb (pepper) for flavor and some burned sugar for color\u2014not far from the absinthe cocktails that the newspapers preached as a deadly habit of the leisurely French.<\/p>\n

Absinthe was a green terror, a green peril, a green menace, in headline after headline. The Portland Daily Press<\/em>, in 1897, wrote of absinthe\u2019s \u201cdolphin colors,\u201d and how the drink is like the Frenchman, \u201cperfumed and fragrant like his foppery \u2026 bitter like his philosophy \u2026 yellow like his morality, and inflaming like his passions.\u201d Some of the articles were accompanied by lush portraiture of the absintheur in the happy throes of hallucination.<\/p>\n

It was a golden age of newspaper and magazine illustration, resulting in Art Nouveau imagery that was equal parts fantasy, mortal danger, and seduction. A 1901 edition of the San Francisco Call<\/em> featured a full-page illustration of a man in his chair with an empty glass and surrounded by delusions, a fairy drilling a hole in his head, a winged elephant on a bird\u2019s perch, a dragon-headed butterfly flitting about. The delight the artist indulged is somewhat reflected even in the article\u2019s giddy cautions: \u201cSociety is all agog over the recent discovery that a coterie of girls in a fashionable uptown boarding school have been caught tippling absinthe.\u201d (That uptown \u201ctippling\u201d makes them sound as sated as the guinea pigs mentioned above.)<\/p>\n

An 1894 article from The Evening Dispatch of Provo, Utah, warns of absinthe\u2019s treachery, then goes on to give tips on how to best fix it for yourself: \u201cIt is the precipitation of these [volatile] oils in water that causes the rich clouding of your glass when the absinthe is poured on the cracked ice\u2014double emblems or warnings of the clouding and the crackling of your brain if you take to it steadily. Thus every drink of the opaline liquid is an object lesson in chemistry that carries its own moral \u2026 Some barroom Columbus, ambitious to outdo Dante and add another lower circle to the inferno, recently invented or discovered the absinthe cocktail. A little whisky\u2014the worse the better\u2014a dash of bitters, a little sugar and plenty of iced absinthe make about the quickest and wickedest intoxicant in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cocktail guide titled Modern American Drinks (1900) is largely indifferent to the guinea-pig killer and includes many formulas for absinthes, including the Brain-Duster, a cocktail with absinthe, gum syrup, Italian vermouth, and whiskey. As one other turn-of-the-century cocktail guide offers as its epigraph: \u201cInasmuch as you will do this thing, it is best that you do it intelligently.\u201d<\/p>\n

To cocktail intelligently in this age, you\u2019d be expected to keep a bottle of absinthe, along with yellow chartreuse, Apollinaris water, sauterne, cr\u00e8me d\u2019allash, orgeat syrup, Eau de Vie d\u2019Oranges, calisaya, extract of beef, and many egg whites and egg yolks. And according to Modern American Drinks, you\u2019d be mixing \u201ccocktails, cups, crustas, cobblers, coolers, egg-noggs, fixes, fizzes, flips, juleps, lemonades, punches, pousse caf\u00e9,\u201d as well as collins, daisies, frappes, rickeys, smashes, and sours.<\/p>\n

The recipe for Burned Brandy (which, we\u2019re told, is \u201cgood in a case of diarrhea\u201d) is simple enough: \u201cPut two lumps of cut-loaf sugar in a dish; add one jigger good brandy, and ignite. When sufficiently burnt, serve in a whiskey glass.\u201d Something called Gin and Pine seems a little less so: \u201cTake from the heart of a green pine log two ounces of splinters, steep in a quart bottle Tom gin for twenty-four hours, strain into another bottle. Serve same as straight gin.\u201d<\/p>\n

An article in 1904 celebrates a radium cocktail that \u201cglows before taking \u2026 Passing is the epoch of the ruby Manhattan, the yellow Martini, the garnet vermouth, the opalescent absinthe, and the old-fashioned whisky cocktail of the sunset tint. The white radium cocktail has come.\u201d The recipe for this Sunshine Cocktail is \u201cone part Alpha (positive); one part Beta (negative); one part Roentgen salt; mix thoroughly and place in glass tube. Put glass tube in cocktail glass of water. Turn out the light. Drink shining.\u201d<\/p>\n
