Butterfly is the first pre-ban absinthe of American origin to return to the USA. It was originally made in Boston circa 1902 at the Dempsey Distillery on Merrimac Street. The brand was resurrected by Boston-based absinthe historian, Brian Fernald. An empty bottle and the 1905 trademark registration helped give Fernald a label design and, after years of research in local archives, he unearthed Dempsey’s handwritten recipe book. Butterfly is produced by Claude-Alain Bugnon, Europe’s most famous absinthe distiller. More than 60 production steps are required to make Butterfly over a three day period from plant selection through maceration and distillation, to application of signed, dated and numbered labels. Plants include locally grown grande wormwood, petite wormwood, hyssop, melissa and peppermint and the finest imported anise, star anise, fennel and citrus. Butterfly combines the best of both worlds: American heritage and recipe with Swiss "know how" and ingredients. It is one of only two absinthes to achieve an A Star rating in Drinkhacker and one of only four US available absinthes to achieve a 5 Star rating in Diffords Guide.

Campari is a bitter aperitif created by Gaspare Campari in the 1860?s. It is a complicated mix of more than 60 natural ingredients including herbs, chinotto (a bitter citrus), vegetables, spices, barks and fruit peels that, when perfectly combined, produce an elegant, lingering, bitter appetite/palate stimulant. There is a saying about Campari: ?It is the third drink that will win you over.? That is because 1 and 2 are such a surprise to your palate. Try this on ice, with an orange wedge squeezed into it and soda water to the top, or in a marvelously delicious cocktail (Negroni, Americano, Three Faces? etc.).
