Classic French Absinthe Ritual

1. 
   Pour about one ounce (30ml) of absinthe into a glass. There are various types of glasses that can be used, some of antique or historical design and others of more modern design. French absinthe glasses, such as reservoir pontarlier glasses, are quite suitable for the French absinthe ritual. Different styles of reservoir glasses are available, but every style will have a distinct or bulbous bottom area that indicates the amount of absinthe that is to be initially poured.
2. 
   
   Absinthe spoon (various types of absinthe spoons are used)
   
   Lay a flat, perforated absinthe spoon across the rim of the glass, and place a single cube of sugar on the perforated area of the spoon. This is customary but is not necessary. The sugar is traditionally used to balance the bitter taste of the wormwood.
3. 
   
   Sugar cube laid on absinthe spoon over glass (various types of glasses can be used)
   
   
   Dripping ice cold pure water over sugar into absinthe drink
   
   Drip very pure ice cold water into the absinthe from a small pitcher. This very slow and gradual addition of the water forms the heart of the absinthe ritual, and is done with or without the sugar. When using sugar, the cold water is dripped over the sugar and into the drink, causing the sugar to slowly dissolve into the absinthe. Very high quality absinthe can be expertly experienced simply with the ice cold water.
   
   • Three or four ounces of water are added per ounce of absinthe.
   
   • Ice cubes can be added to the pitcher of water if desired, but be sure that they don't fall into the glass of absinthe.
   
   • As the water is added to the absinthe, the absinthe should gradually louche.
   
   • Absinthe fountains were traditionally used to drip the ice cold water into absinthe drinks.
   
   • Brouilleur devices can also be used to automtically drip the water into individual glasses. The brouilleur is placed over the glass, and water, ice cubes, or ice water (as well as sugar if desired) is added to it. The water will gradually drip through the brouilleur into the absinthe. The brouilleur is removed before drinking the prepared absinthe.

Czech or Modern Bohemian Method

1. 
   Pour a dose of absinthe into a glass, then place a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon or teaspoon.
2. 
   Soak the sugar in absinthe by dipping it into the absinthe with the spoon or pouring a little absinthe over it.
3. 
   
   Flaming absinthe-soaked sugar cube over glass of absinthe
   
   Light the absinthe-soaked sugar on fire for about one minute, allowing the sugar caramelize and melt (This is not recommended because it can be extremely dangerous due to the high alcohol content which makes the absinthe very flammable). If an absinthe spoon is used, the burning, melted sugar should drip into the absinthe.
4. 
   Dunk the still flaming spoon into the absinthe, which may then ignite.
5. 
   Add ice cold water to the absinthe to quench the flames and produce the louche effect.
6. 
   Use this method appropriately. Though frowned upon by some absinthe aficionados, this untraditional method has become popular in recent years. Absinthe with a high alcohol content will ignite more readily, but it is certainly not recommended that high-quality absinthe be set aflame.

Warnings

• Absinthe that contains high levels of thujone may be harmful and is more than likely "bathtub" or homemade variety and not the authentic item. Thujone is toxic, especially when high concentrations are consumed. Thujone is a convulsant and binds to gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptors in the central nervous system. The level of thujone in European absinthe is regulated, and such set levels are not thought to be harmful. Absinthe is not an illegal drug, although thujone is regulated due to its potential toxicity. It is not recommended that one drink more than three or four servings of absinthe in one sitting. The acute intake of absinthe is not thought to be harmful, but chronic, long-term consumption may cause harm as with any other alcohol.
• Never drink absinthe just because it contains thujone. The GABA-type brain receptors that thujone acts upon are also acted upon or influenced by antioxidant polyphenol flavonoids. These flavonoids are not toxic like thujone, and are found in non-toxic herbs such as chamomile and valerian.
• Absinthe that is labeled as a "bitter" may contain a relatively large amount of thujone, perhaps up to 35 mg/kg.
• Never consume wormwood extract or oil, as these are very toxic and can be lethal.
• Absinthe has a high alcohol content.
• Always drink alcoholic beverages responsibly. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while your judgment is impaired.
