Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bonnecaze & Cie Wormwood Leaf Absinthe Spoon No:15
Customer Review: Very Nice Absinthe Spoon - Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This "Bonnecaze & Cie Wormwood Leaf Absinthe Spoon" is an indispensable accessory for preparing Absinthe in the traditional way. The spoon is not really a spoon as the pan is flat and is riddled with holes, albeit by design.
The spoon is used by placing it across the rim of the glass containing a serving of Absinthe, a cube of sugar is placed on the spoon pan and then VERY cold water is slowly poured over the sugar cube. As the sugar cube melts and fluid level rises, the normally clear emerald green Absinthe will turn milky as the water insoluble components are released and begin to float. This is the way I like to take Absinthe.
On a side note, there are specialized glasses that contain a reservoir for the Absinthe, we use Bonnecaze & Cie Absinthe Glass, Bubble and Bonnecaze & Cie Absinthe Glass, Pontarlier Plain.
Highly Recommended!

Description of Bonnecaze & Cie Wormwood Leaf Absinthe Spoon No:15
Absinthe spoons have been around for hundreds of years. Originally invented in France and Switzerland the spoons were used to properly prepare one?s absinthe. An absinthe spoon is a perforated or slotted spoon that is used to dissolve a sugar cube in a glass of absinthe, usually to sweeten the drink and counteract its mild bitterness. The bowl of the spoon is normally flat, with a notch in the handle where it rests on the rim of the glass. Originating circa the 1860s, absinthe spoons were often stamped with brand names or logos as advertising, much like modern alcohol paraphernalia. Sometimes they were sold as tourist items; for example, some might be shaped like the Eiffel Tower, for example the spoon Eiffel Tower No:14, which was made for the inauguration of the building in the year 1889. Absinthe spoons also come shaped like ice tea spoons, these types are less traditional. These less common spoons normally have a spoon bowl (like a teaspoon) and a sugar holder built into the handle. With these spoons one must flip the spoon over and rest it on the glass, placing the sugar in the grill on the handle. Absinthe spoons are truly unique gift for anyone.Bar Tools & Glasses
