Staying with this month’s Marilyn Manson theme we have edited one of our favourite pictures of the man himself so that you can no longer see what he is holding. Drop us an email to tell us what he is holding in his left hand and all correct answers will go into a prize draw at the end of the month. The winner will get their very own lip-smacking magnum of Sebor Absinth. Email your stories to me at greenfairy@seborabsinth.com by 30th June 2007.

Congratulations to Brandon Nunn, who won last month’s pictures competition. A magnum is on its way! You can view Brandon’s picture and other entries in the Competition section of www.seborabsinth.com.

The creator of Absinthe was a French physician by the name of Dr. Pierre Ordinaire practicing in Switzerland. Dr. Ordinaire invented absinthe in the late eighteenth century as a way to make wormwood and other homeopathic herbs more palatable.  Dr. Ordinaire was able to overcome the bitter taste of wormwood by distilling it with other regional herbs like anise, Florence fennel, hyssop and melissa. The result was absinthe and the new drink was tasty and delivered the homeopathic qualities of the herbs without the bitter taste. The good doctor would prescribe this elixir to his patients with digestive troubles and Dr. Ordinaire's absinthe was received with rave reviews.

Guess which very talented member of the Sebor team has achieved a huge win in last night’s Remy Martin World Challenge…  That’s right chaps, Jamie Stephenson was last night crowned World Champion Mixologist, beating competitors from 30 countries around the world to come up trumps with his fantastic Remy concoction.  So join the very proud Sebor team to give him a round of applause for his absolutely fantastic achievement. 

Why not try out this beauty guaranteed to take you wherever your heart desires… float away to the land of the green fairy with our fantastic Black Sambuca and Sebor Absinth concoction.
