- CARE
This mouth-blown glass fountain is perfect for dripping water used in a traditional absinthe ritual. By turning the fountain's spigot the amount of water can vary from a slow drip to a gentle stream.
Proper use consists of: pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing an absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. The lid of the fountain is removed and fresh water and ice is added into the glass bowl. The spigot is slightly turned and the ice water is slowly dripped from the fountain onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then drips from the spoon into the glass of absinthe releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise. Refresh water before each use.
Fountain will accommodate 1 person at one time.

SPOUT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use consists of: pouring an amount of absinthe (typically an ounce) into an absinthe glass, laying an absinthe spoon on top of the glass, and placing a sugar cube atop the spoon. The fountain lid is removed, fresh room-temperature water is added to the glass bowl, and ice is added. The spigot is slightly turned, and the cold water is slowly poured or dripped from the fountain's spigot onto the sugar. The water dilutes the sugar, and the cold, sugary water drips 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 mixes with the anise in the absinthe. Refresh water before each use.
The drink ratio varies from 1 part absinthe to 3 to 5 parts water, depending on one's preference.
After use, handwash only. When finished washing, open all spouts, turn the fountain upside down, and place it on top of a kitchen towel to allow it to dry completely.
California Prop 65 compliant when properly used.
CARE
Upon receiving your fountain, we suggest washing it with room temperature water.
If you intend to use the fountain solely with water, run lukewarm or room-temperature water through the spouts, then allow the water to empty from the spouts and glass globe. Open all spouts, turn the fountain upside down, and place it on top of a kitchen towel to allow it to dry completely.
If washing the fountain, use liquid dishwashing soap with warm water.
Handwash only. Do not place in the dishwasher.
