Gold Absinthe Spoon

The Gold Absinthe Spoon, internationally known as Absinthe Spoon Gold, is a unique and stylish tool that is an indispensable part of the absinthe ritual. This elegant spoon is not just a practical utensil for enjoying absinthe, but also a symbol of refinement and history within the bar world.

Traditionally made of metal, this golden variant adds an extra touch of luxury and elegance to the absinthe spoon. With its characteristic slotted pattern, the spoon is perfect for placing over a glass of absinthe, upon which a sugar cube can be laid. As ice-cold water is slowly dripped over the sugar, it dissolves and drips sweetness into the absinthe, creating the perfect balance between bitterness and sweetness.

The Gold Absinthe Spoon is also a testament to the fascinating history of absinthe. From its roots in 19th-century France to its prohibition and subsequent revival, absinthe and its accessories have played a central role in cocktail culture. Owning a gold absinthe spoon is not just about having a bar tool, but also possessing a piece of drink history.
