Mata Hari Absinthe is made in Vienna according to a 125-year-old family recipe. But Mata Hari is not classic per se, it has an unconventional taste. Mata Hari Absinthe does not contain anise, contrary to classic Absinthe. The taste is rather characterized by a sweetish, very interesting violet note (similar to the Absinthe "Green Fairy"). The recipe also contains some Christmassy spices like cinnamon and clove. Its green color is natural, i.e. herbs and seeds are used for coloring.

This Absinthe is something special. You just have to try it. Due to its anise-free recipe, Mata Hari Absinthe is also suitable as a mixer with Cola or Red Bull. You will see, these drinks are quite powerful, drink responsibly.

Mata Hari Absinthe, who gave the name?

Mata Hari, born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle on August 7, 1876, in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, is one of the most famous spies in history. Her life was characterized by drama, glamour, and secrets, which made her a legendary figure.

After an unhappy marriage and the loss of her children, Margaretha moved to Paris, where she took on a new identity and became famous as an exotic dancer under the stage name Mata Hari. Her stage name means "eye of the day" in Malay. With her beguiling beauty and seductive dances, which supposedly represented sacred rituals from the East, she captured the hearts and fantasies of the European elite.

During the First World War, Mata Hari came under suspicion of being a double agent. Her connections to high-ranking military and government officials made her the ideal suspect for espionage activities. The French authorities arrested her in 1917 and charged her with high treason. Despite weak evidence and numerous ambiguities in the trial, she was found guilty and executed in Vincennes near Paris on October 15, 1917.

Mata Hari remains a fascinating and controversial figure. Her life and death are shrouded in myths and legends that are often difficult to separate from the truth. She became a symbolic figure of female seduction and betrayal, and her story continues to inspire numerous books, films, and plays to this day. Mata Hari is an example of how secrets and speculation can shape the historical perception of a person and how a woman can experience both admiration and condemnation in a male-dominated world.

It is still unclear today whether she was actually the cunning agent portrayed in the verdict - or a welcome pawn of the French military tribunal, because enthusiasm for the war was waning and a scapegoat for the defeats and losses seemed helpful.

Mata Hari is not classic in taste, as it contains no anise. Instead, floral and spicy notes such as violet, cinnamon, and clove dominate, giving it an unusual, aromatic profile that differs significantly from classic Absinthes.

Mata Hari is an Austrian Absinthe distilled in Vienna according to a family recipe that is approximately 125 years old. This unique recipe makes it a special spirit with its own distinctive style.

Unlike classic Absinthes, Mata Hari deliberately omits anise. This eliminates the typical licorice character, and instead unfolds a spicy aroma with floral notes – ideal for connoisseurs seeking a different flavor profile than classic Absinthe.

Thanks to its anise-free recipe, Mata Hari can not only be enjoyed classically with water, but also combined well in mixed drinks – for example, with cola or energy drinks. The unusual aromas unfold in a new way.

In addition to wormwood for natural coloring, Mata Hari uses a special blend of herbs and spices – including violet, clove, cinnamon and other botanical components that contribute to its distinctive and unconventional taste.

Frequently Asked Questions General

Absinthe is a traditional herbal spirit whose characteristic taste is primarily derived from wormwood, anise, and fennel. It originated in the border region between Switzerland and France and became widely known in the 19th century.

Absinthe is traditionally diluted with ice-cold water, which is slowly dripped into the glass – often over a sugar cube. This preparation allows the aromas to unfold and creates the typical "louche" effect, where the spirit becomes milky and cloudy.

The high alcohol content serves as a carrier for the subtle herbal aromas and preserves them. Absinthe is therefore not intended for pure consumption, but is traditionally drunk diluted with water.

Absinthe is a traditional herbal spirit, whose characteristic taste is mainly due to wormwood, anise, and fennel. It originated in the border region between Switzerland and France and gained widespread recognition in the 19th century.

For the classic preparation, an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon for the sugar cube, and a carafe or fountain with ice-cold water are used. These tools allow for slow dilution and ensure a balanced taste experience.
