Absinthe Leaf Spoon

This stainless steel absinthe spoon is a reproduction of an ancient absinthe spoon from France.

Since real absinthe has no additional sugar in it, spoons are used to hold a sugar cube above the glass while a fountain drips water on it, in order to sweeten and dilute the alcohol. Once sweetened and mixed to your taste, use the spoon to stir the "purée" (old french slang for an absinthe diluted with cold water.)
