Grille Absinthe Spoon

This unique spoon has one of the largest grilles of all of our absinthe spoons. Underneath the tip of the spoon has two prongs which hook onto the edge of the glass to help keep the spoon from moving. The spoon was inspired by the increasingly popular modernist designs of the time. It is an exact reproduction of a late 19th century absinthe spoon.

This spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French or Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly dripped from a fountain, carafe or balancier 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 colour, as the water mixes with the anise.
