Absinthe has been implicated in artistic acts of madness and was long banned in many countries. Recent enthusiasm for the spirit has prompted a re-examination of the facts, and absinthe was deemed respectable enough to pass legal muster and become popular among a new generation. Whether poured over an absinthe spoon of flaming sugar into ice or simply enjoying with a splash of water to induce the louche, there's just enough ritual and history with this drink to evoke the feeling of something special about to happen. Fan of just the leafy print? This design is perfect for outdoor wedding celebrations and groomsmen gifts!
