Description
The absinthe set in the new edition from La Rochère takes us back to the time when the high-proof and not uncontroversial drink paved the way for many a free spirit to the ultimate intoxication of the senses. Wormwood, fennel and anise were an integral part of the traditional recipe and because of its color and intoxicating effect, absinthe was also called “the green fairy”. The set includes two absinthe glasses, the corresponding spoon and a small booklet with recipes. The La Rochère Absinthe glass tells a real piece of eventful and exciting history. The rough shape, the lush calyx and the strong, beautifully designed stem look great! With this retro accessory for the (responsible) enjoyment of a very special drink, you can definitely shine and create special moments. The matching spoon is the ultimate detail for the already exceptional absinthe glass from La Rochère. You fill the glass with absinthe, place the spoon over the glass and a piece of sugar on top. You gradually sprinkle this with water so that the sugar dissolves and ends up in the glass. The water also dilutes the spirit. The popularity of absinthe originated in France in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

There was even the so-called “green hour” there, because anyone who drank absinthe in the early evening hours was a bohemian in tune with the times; drinking absinthe was modern and hip. In addition to the intoxicating factor, the ritual of letting water run over a lump of sugar on a slotted spoon into the glass already filled with pure absinthe is likely to have given the whole procedure in public bars the attention it deserves. Absinthe was banned in many European countries and the USA around 1915 because it was considered very dangerous to health. However, as medical research progressed, this proved unsustainable and since the late 1990s the spirit has been allowed again in Europe. The thujone content in absinthe (a neurotoxin and component of the essential oil of wormwood) is limited
