Toulouse Lautrec Absinthe Spoon
DESCRIPTION
This absinthe spoon is one of our most popular items. It is made of high-quality stainless steel and has excellent line definition. Legend has it that there were originally 12 spoons designed for Toulouse Lautrec, a famous absinthe enthusiast. Each spoon features Lautrec's monogram at the top of the grill. The original spoons are extremely rare. This is an exact reproduction of the late 19th-century absinthe spoon.
FEATURES
- Measures approximately 2" (10 cm) in length.
- Made from solid, shiny pewter.
- Hand poured.
- Lead-free.
- Imported.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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.
