Absente Luminescent 26 is a limited-release absinthe-style liqueur from Distilleries et Domaines de Provence that glows a vivid green under UV light, bottled at 26% ABV.
Made in France by Distilleries et Domaines de Provence, Luminescent 26 is distilled from a traditional botanical recipe of grande wormwood, southernwood, green anise, lemon balm, peppermint, and mugwort. Its signature party trick is real: naturally occurring riboflavin in the botanical blend makes it fluoresce a vivid green under black light, with no artificial additives. At a more approachable 26% ABV, it keeps genuine absinthe complexity while being versatile enough for both sipping and cocktails.
