Description: Flower Absinthe Spoon & 10 Sugar Cubes One of our most ornate and popular spoons, this faithful reproduction is considered to be one of the most collectable of all antique absinthe spoons. This flower absinthe spoon features a large flat surface allowing it to accommodate large absinthe glasses. This spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French or Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly dripped from a fountain, carafe or balancier onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then drips from the spoon into the glass of absinthe releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise. Measures 6.75"/170mm long.Stainless steel.Will not tarnish. Dishwasher safe.Imported.Made by Bonnecaze. Plus FREE Sugar Cubes During the pre-ban absinthe era (before 1915), it was rare to find someone who drank absinthe without first sweetening it with sugar. This is why most absinthe accoutrements were made, to simply add sugar water to absinthe. Our sugar cubes are the same found in cafés, bars and restaurants throughout Europe.The sugar does not contain absinthe. Believe it or not, we get asked this.
