An Absinthe spoon is an essential accessory for your Heure Verte. The preparation of your absinthe has to be made respecting the authentic Absinthe ritual. Therefore you need an Absinthe spoon, an Absinthe glass and Absinthe and cold water. You should buy these essential accessories togteher with your bottle of Absinthe. We offer a great variety of spoons, silver plated ones, gold plated ones and chrome plated ones. We recommend the Spoon Fleche, when you are looking for a perfect quality spoon. Spoon Standard is the cheaper edition, but still suits an Absintheur needs. Let us explain why you should buy an Absinthe Spoon to perform the Absinthe ritual. An Absinthe glass an Absinthe Spoon and Absinthe sugar are needed. Here is how your Absinthe has to be prepared: First you have to place your spoon on the Absinthe glass, load it with one or two original Absinthe sugar cubes, the best ones are the individually wrapped ones, then pour Absinthe over the spoon and sugar. The sugar cubes now soak up the green Absinthe. After that you pour ice cold water inbthe glass (over the spoon and sugar as well), the sugar begins to melt and drips through the holes in the absinthe spoon into the glass. When the glass is filled and the sugar cube is completely melted your Absinthe is ready to be enjoyed!
The thin beam of Green Fairy, the nickname of Absinthe, dissolves the sugar and creates the white louche. Louche is the epxert name for the opalescent effect when the green Absinthe begins to change its color to greenish white. The decanter, another essential absinthe accessory, is filled with ice cold water, which means fresh water and ice cubes. Be careful that the cubes stay in the decanter and do not fall into the absinthe glass. We recommend a ratio of 1 part Absinthe and 3 parts icy water. Try it out, the concrete mixture depends on the Absinthe brand you have chosen. For Strong68 for example you need at least 3 sugar cubes, as this brand is very bitter because of the high wormwood degree (it has 35mg thujon). Besides an Absinthe spoon you can also make use of an Absinthe Grilles, an Absinthe Brouilleur or Brouille. These authentic accessories are antique drinking tools. A Grille is for example a piece of silver plated metal with three small arms, which have to be placed over the Absinthe glass. It is the accessory for the advanced Absintheur and has a very original look and creates an authentic "aura". A Brouille is a glass piece, which you place over your Absinthe glass and fill it with cold water. When you own original accessories, the most important thing is a nice spoon. You will feel like sitting in the old style bistros of 19th century France!
Besides many parisian artists, a famous visitor of the Moulin Rouge was Toulouse Lautrec. Toulouse Lautrec had his very special and own spoon. Not a cheap one ;-) And besides his Absinthe spoon, the artist always caried a ration of the Green Fairy with him, in his walking stick he had a reservoir for two Absinthe drinks. Enough to survive the day.
There exists as well a good and interesting story about a special Absinthe spoon, which is connected with Hollywoods movie industry. For the movie Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola an Absinthe spoon was needed. The artist Winona Ryder should drink a glass of "Green Fairy". Francis F. Coppola organized one from an Absintheur collector in France, as at that time, Absinthe was still the forbidden and banned drink of the 19th century. Antique originals or reproductions were very hard to find at that time.
