We're not entirely in agreement with Mr. Wilde's sentiments - but it is true that there is a beauty, mystery, and allure which surrounds absinthe. Indeed, part of the appeal of absinthe are the many accoutrements and rituals which surround the drink. An intregal part of the absinthe experience is the Absinthe Spoon. As absinthe contains no sugar, sugar is typically added to improve the flavor and take the edge off the bitter wormwood found in the drink. To that end, a special filligreed and often decorative Absinthe Spoon is used. The spoon holds a sugar cube above a glass containing absinthe while cold water is slowly poured or dripped over the sugar.
Please note: Due to high demand, many spoon styles are now sold out. We are expecting a complete shipment from France by April.
