The traditional French way of drinking absinthe; a simple combination of absinthe, sugar, water and, most of all, time to wait for the louche effect to take place.
Pour the absinthe into an absinthe glass (or tumbler if, like me, you don't have one).
Balance the absinthe spoon over the glass and place a sugar cube on top.
Carefully pour the chilled water onto the sugar cube until it is soaked.
Wait for the sugar cube to begin dissolving and then wait some more.
When the sugar cube has dissolved, gently pour more water over the sugar to wash the last into the glass (90-150ml chilled water depending on taste).
Remove the absinthe spoon.
