The Chocolate Fairy

The chocolate fairy is a twist on the traditional absinthe drink, the green fairy, with a sweet surprise! Banned in many countries for years, absinthe was falsely identified as a hallucinogenic. However, its powerful effects are certainly masked by its sweet herbaceous flavor. The chocolate fairy may not give you visions, but there is still something magical about her!
