How to Drink Absinthe

There are a couple of different ways to drink absinthe. The most popular is the Traditional Method, which is as follows:

You will need:

-Absinthe and a glass.

-An absinthe spoon (or regular slotted spoon).

-Sugar cube(s)

-Ice cold water.

Process:

-Pour about one shot worth of absinthe into a glass.

-Place the absinthe spoon on the glass.

-Put a sugar cube on the spoon.

-Slowly pour four to six parts ice-cold water over the sugar cube so that it dissolves in the absinthe. (five parts water to one part absinthe is about the average ratio.)

-Stir and drink!

There is another method called the Czech Method, which is a lot of fun!

Same idea as the traditional method, but here is the difference:

-After you pour the shot of absinthe, dip the sugar cube so that it absorbs some of the liquid.

-Put the sugar cube on the absinthe spoon and hold it a few inches above the glass.

-Light the sugar cube with a match or lighter. Let the sugar cube flame and caramelize, dripping into the absinthe.

-Pour the water into the glass, stir, and drink!

Now that it is a treat!
