Highly visual, fountains are very convivial to share with friends by having a fountain placed in front of you when ordering “The Perfect Pour” at a bar.
Ingredient:
- 1 measure of La Maison Fontaine Green or White
- Iced still mineral water
- 1 lemon sliced
- Peel of 1 cucumber cut into strips
- 6 mint sprigs
- Ice cubes
Preparation:
One should put inside the fountain solely cold water mixed with ice to ensure it is always ice cold. However, the water can be flavored using cucumber peels, lemon slices and/or strawberry slices to give it a refreshing twist.
Drip, drip, drip
A glass with 1 measure of La Maison Fontaine absinthe is then placed under the fountain’s pourer where the water will then slowly drip into the glass. For a sweeter taste, a sugar cube can be placed on an absinthe spoon between the glass and the pouring water.
The cloudy effect
Known as “the louche”, this effect is a key indicator to signal the quality of the absinthe. A particular chemical reaction occurs when cold water is blended with absinthe giving it a cloudy color. For the perfect blend, you want a color similar to the picture.
