The salutation “What’s your poison?” is thought to reference the trial of Dr. William Palmer, the infamous doctor/murderer of Staffordshire in the mid 1800’s. The good doctor allegedly poisoned his mother-in-law, wife, several of his children (legitimate and not) and a few other folks who got in his way. His crimes were so notorious that thirty thousand folks attended the hanging, many stood all night in the pouring rain to assure front row spot. Souvenir ballads and pieces of rope sold quickly to the crowd.
In reference to the first four brands of absinthe available in the US, we paraphrase “What’s your potion?” Four lovely ladies of taste are lined up for your pleasure. Each one offers her own charms, from delicate, sweet flavors to exotic and intense. Read on to find your potion.
