FRENCH LACROIX ABSINTHE WATER CARAFE, GLASS

Description

Lacroix Absinthe Water Carafe
This mouth-blown carafe was inspired by similar pieces found in bars and
bistros throughout Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Carafes
generally sat on bistro tables and were commonly used by the customer
in preparing their own drink, particularly in the making of an absinthe.
Besides being used to hold water, these carafes were also popular
promotional and marketing tools used mostly by alcohol manufacturers.
Using
a carafe to add water to an absinthe was the most common method of
preparing a traditional French/Swiss absinthe during the Belle Époque.
The correct technique is to slowly, pour or drip the water onto the
sugar cube until has completely dissolved from the spoon, and fallen
into the glass of absinthe.
