{"product_id":"2-traditional-absinthe-fountain-6-spout","title":"Traditional Absinthe Water Fountain, Six Spout","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis six-spout absinthe fountain is a reproduction of a vintage 19th-century Belle Époque fountain. The top cover has the classic \"acorn\" top and is removable to add ice water to the glass bowl. The glass bowl is mouth-blown, and the fountains are handmade, nickel-plating over brass. The fountain has six metal faucets, accommodating one to six glasses at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsinthe fountains were primarily used in high-end bars because of their expensive price tag. They were brought to the table, where the customer would prepare the absinthe himself. Absinthe fountains were (and still are) the preferred way to prepare absinthe, as one can perfectly control the rate of water. Unfortunately, due to accidents, very few fountains have survived intact with their original glass bowl. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProper use consists of: pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing an absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. The fountain lid of the fountain is removed and fresh water and ice is added into the glass bowl. The spigot is slightly turned and the ice water slowly drips or gently streams from the fountain onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then falls from the spoon into the glass of absinthe, releasing essential oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise. Refresh water before each use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnecaze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46176357187805,"sku":"1306","price":288.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/6585\/4173\/files\/Bonnecaze__2_Traditional_Fountain_6_Spout-square-shadow_0119fdf6-1af6-43d3-aaf1-0106805b57b0.jpg?v=1739129335","url":"https:\/\/maison-absinthe-us.myshopify.com\/products\/2-traditional-absinthe-fountain-6-spout","provider":"Maison Absinthe US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
