Fountains For Preparing AbsintheAbsinthe fountains (sometimes called absinthe drippers) are as popular today as they were over 100 years ago during the Belle Epoque or "Beautiful Era".
Connoisseurs of the Green Fairy say a fountain is the only true way to mix absinthe and make the perfect louche. Absinthe fountains allow you to experience the ambiance of a Nouveau French Bistro in the late 1800's.

"Absinthe's high alcohol content keeps the herbs dissolved until water is added. As they're released, the louche is formed" |
Absinthe requires a very high alcohol concentration to keep the herbs and botanicals used in its distillation suspended in solution. The herbs are "hidden" or "locked away" inside the undiluted liquor.
As water is added, the alcohol concentration slowly falls and the herbal oils start to precipitate out of solution forming the louche. At the same time, the beautiful, botanical aromas are released filling the room with their fragrance. Enjoying the scent of the herbs being released is an important part of the absinthe ritual. |
