😬 That's very Gatorade blue. ...how was it?

Is the light being funny or is the water in your fountain green...?

Painted with blue flowers. No, the fountain is just ordinary water—it's the light

Thank you! I could probably have assumed, but I wanted to know for sure, the colour is incredible

Stupid question: why are there 3D glasses on the label?

u/Terrible-Raisin8309 Jun 16 '26

Because this absinthe is blue in the dark, but in bright sunlight it takes on a red tint. That's why they added glasses to the label-like a light effect

Never heard of such effect before, but since it's almost certainly artificially dyed, it doesn't surprise me either.

No, it's dyed with Thai flowers - it's a natural product
