[1] [2] Jeppson's Malört is named after Carl Jeppson, a Swedish immigrant who first distilled and popularized the liquor in Chicago. Malört (literally moth herb) is the Swedish word for wormwood, [3] which is the key ingredient in bäsk. Malört is extremely low in thujone, a chemical once prevalent in absinthe and similar drinks.

Thujone (/ ˈ θ uː dʒ oʊ n / ⓘ [2]) is a ketone and a monoterpene that occurs predominantly in two diastereomeric forms: (−)-α-thujone and (+)-β-thujone. [3] [4]Though it is best known as a chemical compound in the spirit absinthe, it is only present in trace amounts and is unlikely to be responsible for the spirit's purported stimulant and psychoactive effects.

[112] In documented cases of acute thujone poisoning as a result of oral ingestion, [ 113 ] the source of thujone was not commercial absinthe, but rather non-absinthe-related sources, such as common essential oils (which may contain ...
Usually, a 1:1 ratio of water to absinth is used.

(A traditional absinthe drink is diluted with water to a ratio between 3:1 and 5:1.)

[2] It was the first absinthe to be legally distilled and bottled in France since the 1915 ban.

Le Tourment Vert was a mixed and macerated spirit containing the basic ingredients common to true absinthes - anise, fennel and grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) - and also contained a combination of herbs, including sage, rosemary, coriander, and eucalyptus and fitted within guidelines for thujone (10ppm) as specified by the U.S. Alcohol ...
