Description
How to serve Absinthe:
You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice cold water for the traditional Absinthe ritual. This is how it works: First, Absinthe is put into the Absinthe glass (1 oz.). Then you place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with water and magically louches from green to an opalescent white color. Finally you stir the Absinthe with the spoon and voilá, your sugared Absinthe is prepared! The perfect Absinthe / water ratio is 1:3. Preparing Absinthe the traditional way is a real experience!

The Absinthe Ritual
Preparing Absinthe with ice cold water, sugar and an Absinthe spoon is an authentic experience. Rooted in the 19th century it is the way how Absinthe should be consumed. So be aware, you should NOT light up your Absinthe. The fire ritual is historically inauthentic, although some bars still promote it. We explicitly do not recommend it, as it destroys the fine flavor structure of an Absinthe and as it is very dangerous to set your Absinthe on fire. Prepare your Absinthe with sugar and ice cold water, this is the best and most original way of drinking Absinthe!
+ Absinthe Manual for the right preparation
Drinking Absinthe is an experience, especially if you prepare it the right way. The set includes a card where the traditional Absinthe ritual is explained in easy steps. Despite popular belief, Absinthe is not set on fire. This fire ritual is actually a modern invention and we do not recommend it at all. It destroys the fine flavor of quality Absinthe, is dangerous and historically inauthentic. The traditional French way of serving Absinthe is with ice cold water and a sugar cube. Enjoy and santé (French for cheers)!
Its time for real Absinthe!
