They are famous for the &#8220;<strong>Oliveta<\/strong>&#8220;, a classic homemade vermouth, and the &#8220;<strong>Absenta<\/strong>&#8220;, or absinthe, which was a popular drink at the end of the 19th century,\u00a0dangerously high in alcohol content, and made famous by the jaded expats in France.
