Take one of your glasses and place them on a saucer. The reservoir at the bottom of the glass is designed to hold the correct amount of absinthe. Set one of the absinthe spoons on top of the glass. Then unwrap a sugar cube and set it on the spoon. Take ice cold water and slowly pour it over the sugar cube where it will then falls into the glass. As the water hits the absinthe you will begin to see the visually appealing process of the absinthe louche take place as the spirit turns from green to a milky white solution.
