Swiss Cross Absinthe Spoon

SKU: 1024
€9,98
Description

This reproduction absinthe spoon originated in Switzerland, the birthplace of absinthe. Besides the cross in the middle of the grille representing the national emblem of Switzerland (a predominant feature in their flag), the Swiss cross is more notably known as a sign of quality in the absinthe world. This cut-out cross allows the sugar and water to drop easily into the glass of absinthe. The small bells surrounding the cross represent Switzerland's 22 cantons, or states.

DETAILS
  • Measures 6.5" (16.6 cm) in length.
  • Chrome over brass.
  • Will not tarnish.
  • Imported.
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.
