New York Magazine reports that in Nov. a new liquor will hit the NYC, and U.S. Market, called "Absente". Absente does not have "the outlawed wormwood but its easier-on-the-thujone cousin, southern wormwood, known as 'petite absinthe' in France. It can still give you a buzz, Roux insists [President of the Co. selling "Absente"], especially when sweetened (he claims that sugar boosts the thujone effect)."
