The pressed cubed sugar is the perfect way of adding sugar to your absinthe
Because of the high proof of alcohol, sugar will not dissolve in absinthe, it is for this reason that water is slowly dripped onto a sugar cube which then enables the sugar water to mix more easily with the absinthe
It was highly frowned upon to drink absinthe without sugar during the pre-ban era
The sugar is also used to cut the bitterness of absinthe
