Since the beginning the Absinthe Spoon has played a vital role in absinthe drinking. The absinthe is traditionally prepared by slowly pouring ice water over a sugar cube and into a single ounce of absinthe. The sugar cube is to be place on an absinthe spoon and set atop the glass. This Eiffel Tower Design Absinthe Spoon is made of stainless steel so as not to tarnish and is the perfect option to accomplish this traditional task. The spoon features a perforated tower design that will allow the sugar water to flow through into the absinthe. This action releases oils that perfume the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise.
