Description

This famous Eiffel Tower spoon is part of a small selection of four absinthe spoons initially made to introduce the Eiffel Tower at the Exposition Universelle, the World's Fair held in Paris, France, in 1889. The year was also the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, which began the French Revolution. The original antique spoon design is highly sought after. This spoon is an exact reproduction of that late 19th-century absinthe spoon.

INSTRUCTIONS

A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring a dose of absinthe (usually an ounce) into an absinthe glass, then placing an absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly poured or dripped
from a fountain or carafe onto the sugar. The water dissolves the sugar, and the cold, sugary mixture then falls from the spoon into the glass of absinthe, releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood, and anise.
The combination also turns milky white as the water joins with the anise in the absinthe.

Once the sugar has dissolved from the spoon, the absinthe can be sampled, and the strength and sweetness can be adjusted by adding more water or sugar to taste. The mix ratio depends on one’s liking - usually 1-part absinthe to 3 to 5 parts water.
