#1 Long Playing Cards Absinthe Spoon
This style of long spoon is one of the oldest of all absinthe spoon
designs and commonly referred to as
the "playing card spoon" because of

to hold the sugar cube while preparing a traditional absinthe.

It is also an exact reproduction of a late 19th century absinthe spoon.

Sugar Cubes
Because of the high proof of alcohol, sugar
will not dissolve in absinthe without first being
dissolved with water. It is for this reason that water is
slowly dripped onto a sugar cube which
then enables the sugar water to
mix more easily with the absinthe. Besides the French being known
for
having a big sweet tooth, the sugar is also used to cut the bitterness
of absinthe. It was highly
frowned upon to drink absinthe without sugar
during the pre-ban era.
These sugar tablets are the perfect size for
sweetening your absinthe.
