Stir and sip slowly. It is essential for rinsing the glass of a Sazerac, and a few drops add depth to a Corpse Reviver No. 2. Try it in a Death in the Afternoon with Champagne, or in an absinthe frappé with mint and crushed ice. Because of its high strength, always dilute before drinking. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Lucid contain real wormwood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
