Maybe you don´t know what the liquor Absinthe stand s for and how you drink it. Therefore lets give you some more information: Absinthe is a herbal liquor of green color, which is known under the name "Green Fairy". It is a high proof alcohol, typically 134 proof, which is distilled out of several herbs like melissa, green anise, fennel and of course artemisia absinthium, wormwood. Wormwood is THE ingredient of Absinthe. If a drink doesn´t contain wormwood, it is not Absinthe (Ouzo for example has no wormwood and therefore is not an Absinthe, although it tastes similar). Wormwood gives the liquor its special and mystical effect. Writers and poets of the 19th century consumed this alcohol, as it creates a physical and mental awareness which leads to enhanced creativity. Famous Absintheurs were numerous. For example van Gogh and Oscar Wild, contemporary Absintheurs are Marilyn Manson or Johnny Depp. But lets continue with the description of the Absinthe ritual and the role of the Absinthe glass..
An Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon water and sugar is needed to perform the Absinthe ritual. The Absinthe glass has a special design. It is bigger compared to a normal water glass and it often has a reservoir integrated in the stem, to measure the correct dose of Absinthe. Once you pour the green Absinthe out of the bottle into the glass the reservoir is filled with the green alcohol, and when the Absinthe line reaches the top level of the reservoir you don´t have to fill in more water. Like we already mentioned a famous Absinthe glass is the Reservoir. Brouille glasses are something very special.
