Absinthe Visions - Photographs Inspired by the World of Absinthe

Absinthe spoon intimately. Close-up and blurred image of an absinthe spoon. An absinthe spoon is an absinthe accoutrement that is part of the La Louche ritual of drinking absinthe. A sugar cube is placed on the spoon as it rests atop the glass. Ice cold water from the absinthe fountain drips over cube and slowly dissolves it into the waiting absinthe. Sugar cube is not needed when drinking a quality absinthe.
