They are a good bet if you have multiple drinkers and multiple spigots. They are nice to watch and some of them are works of art. It hasn't been a major issue for me or anything. I guess you could do the vinegar thing, but, there's some maintenance involved. The spigots in particular could be a bit of a pain to clean if scale builds up, depending on the hardness of your water. When I had more room in here, I had it on a table here set up just for absinthe preparation. Mine lives on top of a hutch where it is unlikely to ever be jostled so not a big deal. They take up a fair amount of space and, most of them, if knocked over, can shatter. I have a fountain and a brouilleur / dripper / balancier. What water did get in there didn’t cause any kind of louche.Īny advice on this subject is much appreciated! The carafe itself didn’t have a big enough spout in it and water just ended up spilling all over the place. Is it worth getting a fountain for the price they sell them for ($175-$250 USD for a glass and metal one)?Īs a side note, I did attempt to prepare an absinthe drink with the Absente by buying a carafe and pouring it slowly over the sugar cube. So now the question is what is the most convenient way to get a nice louche? My understanding is that it is traditionally prepared using a fountain. I understand that glasses aren’t entirely necessary and, conveniently enough, the bottle of Absente that I got years ago and still sits in my liquor cabinet half full, did come with a cheap slotted spoon. So now I need glasses and a way to drip the water per the sugar cube and into the glass. As a new comer to the absinthe community, I wasn’t entirely sure which one to go for, so I went with the Pernod. As it so happens they had the St George’s and the Pernod. Now in my state, the only absinthes that are readily available are the two major kinds of Absente, which to my understanding, is not a “true” absinthe.
But the crown jewel is a bottle of absinthe. This included some special rum and my favorite gin. To preface this, I just recently came back from a trip into a neighboring state to visit a few college friends and picked up some liquor and beer that I can only get in that state, as they aren’t distributed in my home state. Hello everyone in the absinthe community!
