What is the American version of absinthe?

Could you please clarify what you mean by the "American version of absinthe"? Absinthe is a type of alcoholic beverage that originated in Switzerland and became popular in France, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is known for its high alcohol content and unique flavor, which is often attributed to the use of wormwood as a key ingredient. There may be versions of absinthe produced in the United States, but they are not necessarily considered the "American version" in the same way that, for example, bourbon is considered the quintessential American whiskey. Can you provide more context or specify what you are looking for in terms of an "American version" of absinthe?
