Savor the potent spirit – up to 140 proof! – that is once again being sold in the U.S. after a nearly century-long ban.
Step 1:
Pour an ounce or two of absinthe into a tall, heavy, thick-stemmed glass, like a parfait glass.
Step 2:
Place an absinthe spoon – a flat, metal, slotted spoon – across the rim of the glass.
Step 3:
Put a sugar cube on the slots of the spoon.
Step 4:
Slowly drip three to six ounces of cold spring water over the sugar cube until the sugar is dissolved. The absinthe will turn from transparent green to a cloudy green or yellow.
Tip
Some people dip the sugar cube in absinthe and set the cube on fire before dousing it with ice water.
Step 5:
Stir with the slotted spoon and enjoy.
Did You Know?
Governments around the world banned absinthe in the early 20th century because it was thought to cause madness.
