"In 2004 Kübler Absinthe secured US formula approval for an authentic absinthe (containing traditional ingredients) made in Val-de-Travers, Switzerland.[56] It took three more years to get the label approved and bring real absinthe to the US, after an absence of more than 90 years. US approval is due to the efforts of Dan Dotson (a Texas importer) and Peter Karl (export manager at Kübler) from 2003 to 2007.[57]
In 2007, Viridian Spirits LLC released Lucid, an authentic absinthe made using grande wormwood (Artemesia absinthium), in the US. Lucid is reported to have a low enough Thujone content to pass US regulatory requirements.[58]"
