Instructions

Prepare the Glass:

  • Add 2 oz absinthe herbal liqueur and one large ice cube to an old-fashioned glass.

Set Up the Spoon:

  • Place an absinthe spoon across the top of the glass with the sugar on it.

Drip Water:

  • Slowly pour drops of cold water onto the spoon, allowing the water to drip through the holes in the absinthe spoon and dissolve the sugar. Continue until the sugar is dissolved and the absinthe turns cloudy (known as the “louche” effect).

Serve:

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the classic and mystical flavors.

Notes

The Absinthe Drip is a timeless way to enjoy absinthe, emphasizing its complex herbal flavors and creating a mesmerizing visual effect as the drink turns cloudy. This traditional preparation method enhances the unique characteristics of absinthe, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate the history and ritual of this legendary spirit.
For an added touch of elegance, use a specially designed absinthe fountain to drip the water slowly and evenly over the sugar. This not only enhances the presentation but also ensures a perfectly balanced drink.
