AdInstructions
- Pour the Absinthe into a rocks glass.
- Rest a slotted absinthe spoon across the rim and set the Sugar Cube on it.
- Let ice-cold water fall drop by drop onto the sugar, either from an absinthe fountain or from a mineral water bottle with a pricked lid, until the sugar has melted into the glass.
- A classic ratio is equal parts water and absinthe, but a full-strength absinthe needs more. Keep dripping until the drink clouds over and turns milky white.
- Drop in ice, stir and serve.
