This mouth-blown glass fountain is perfect for slowly pouring or dripping water to prepare a traditional French/Swiss absinthe.

The metal spouts are easily added and are ideal for heavy usage, particularly in a bar or restaurant.

A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring a dose of absinthe (usually an ounce) into an absinthe glass, then placing an absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly poured or dripped from a fountain or carafe onto the sugar. The water dissolves the sugar, and the cold, sugary mixture then falls from the spoon into the glass of absinthe, releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood, and anise. The combination also turns milky white as the water joins with the anise in the absinthe.
Once the sugar has dissolved from the spoon, the absinthe can be sampled, and the strength and sweetness can be adjusted by adding more water or sugar to taste. The mix ratio depends on one’s liking - usually 1-part absinthe to 3 to 5 parts water.
Upon receiving your fountain, we suggest washing it with warm water.
If you intend to use the fountain solely with water, run warm or room-temperature water through the spouts, then allow the water to empty from the spouts. Open all spouts, turn the fountain upside down, and place it on top of a kitchen towel to allow it to dry completely.
If washing the fountain, use liquid dishwashing soap with warm or room temperature water.
Handwashing is recommended.
