{"product_id":"absinthe-loop-carafe","title":"Bonnecaze Loop Water Carafe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unusual mouth-blown carafe was inspired by similar pieces found in bars and bistros throughout France and Europe in the late 19th century. Once water is added to the carafe, the water acts to magnify and enlarge the text on the dome. The domed indention in the bottom of the carafe is referred to as the loop, or loupe, which means magnifying glass in French. This magnification was a valuable tool that grabbed one's attention as a popular marketing tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater carafes generally sat on bistro tables and were the most common method of preparing a traditional French\/Swiss absinthe during the Belle Époque. The correct technique in using the carafe to make an absinthe is to pour the water slowly, or drip, onto the sugar cubes until the sugar has completely dissolved from the spoon and fallen into the glass of absinthe as sugar water. Since absinthe is made to one's own taste, the preparer decides the amount of water (and sugar) added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carafe can be used to hold a wide variety of liquids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnecaze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46176362856669,"sku":"1905","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/6585\/4173\/files\/promo-carafe-bonnecaze-loop_54fd83a2-9a3e-4d92-a6a3-8e4aeba60310.jpg?v=1739129336","url":"https:\/\/maison-absinthe-us.myshopify.com\/products\/absinthe-loop-carafe","provider":"Maison Absinthe US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
