Description
Quincy Street Distillery Prairie Fairie Absinthe is a handcrafted Absinthe Blanche inspired by traditional Swiss styles and produced in Riverside, Illinois. Unlike many modern absinthes, Prairie Fairie begins with the distillery’s signature Prairie Sunshine™ spirit, itself distilled from local Illinois wildflower honey, creating a uniquely expressive foundation that adds subtle floral complexity to the finished spirit.
Distilled in small batches, Prairie Fairie incorporates the classic “holy trinity” of absinthe botanicals—green anise, Florence fennel, and grand wormwood—to create a spirit that is both authentic and approachable. Crystal clear in appearance, this Absinthe Blanche is designed to be enjoyed traditionally with ice water or incorporated into classic and contemporary cocktails. Its balance of herbal depth and gentle sweetness has earned recognition among craft spirits enthusiasts and award judges alike.
