Absente Absinthe offers an authentic introduction to the legendary spirit that defined 19th-century Parisian café culture. Crafted in France using a refined blend of botanicals, Absente revives the tradition of absinthe with a modern, approachable profile while remaining true to its historic roots. This set includes a traditional absinthe spoon, allowing drinkers to perform the iconic preparation ritual: placing a sugar cube on the spoon and slowly dripping chilled water through it to release the spirit’s aromas and signature louche effect. Balanced, aromatic, and elegant, this absinthe is designed for both curious newcomers and seasoned absinthe lovers seeking ritual, flavour, and heritage in one experience.
