The Authentic French Absinthe Fountain Set.

The Authentic French Absinthe Fountain Set.

Imported from France, this is the authentic absinthe fountain set. The fountain is handmade from mouth-blown glass and plated brass, and the set includes four 12-oz. absinthe glasses and four stainless steel spoons with machine-tooled perforations. The set is the same one used in La Louche, an ubiquitous ritual performed at French absinthe cafes in the 19th-century. Ice water is slowly released from the fountain over a sugar cube that is held by the slotted spoon as it rests atop the absinthe-filled glass. As the water drips from the spigot, it dissolves the sugar into the absinthe, creating the milky, iridescent cocktail favored by Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso. The absinthe fountain has four metal spigots that open independently, the glass bowl holds nine cups of ice water, and the four mouth-blown glasses have doser marks for measuring the correct amount of absinthe. 22" H x 9 1/2" W x 5 1/2" D. (8 lbs.) Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of drop ship items.

Absinthe - A Sip of Seduction
is a rare book addressing the bawdy reputation of the once-banned liquor.

The Book of Absinthe: A Cultural History
La Fee Verte (or "The Green Fairy") has intoxicated artists, poets, and writers ever since the late eighteenth century. Stories abound of absinthe's druglike sensations of mood lift and inspiration due to the presence of wormwood, its infamous "special" ingredient, which ultimately leads to delirium, homicidal mania, and death. Opening with the sensational 1905 Absinthe Murdres, Phil Baker offers a cultural history of absinthe, from its modest origins as an herbal tonic through its luxuriantly morbid heyday in the late nineteenth century. Chronicling a fascinatintly lurid cast of historical characters who often died young, the absinthe scrapbook includes Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Dowson, Aleister ...
