Absinthe Sugar Tongs (Stainless steel)

Enjoy your absinthe with sugar? A pair of sugar tongs is a wonderful addition to your absinthe accessories collection, and a great talking point when inviting friends over for the evening with the green fairy. Sugar tongs have a long history connected with both absinthe and tea drinking! In the past, a sugar loaf would be broken up, and sugar tongs were then a convenient and hygienic way to serve oneself a sugar lump. Later on granulated sugar came to dominate the sugar scene, however to this day tongs remain the most elegant way to serve a sugar cube! Using the tongs, grasp a sugar cube from a plate of cubes, and place gently on your absinthe spoon. Length: 18 cm Width: 5 cm

Did you know?

Claude-Alain Bugnon distilled his first absinthe illegally in 2000. The following year, having received a recipe from one of his friends, he decided to make a living from distilling.

In 2004, he applied for permission to produce absinthe, and at the end of the same year, shipped his first order to Germany. A few months later, on the 1st of March 2005, the Federal Council decided to legalize absinthe in Switzerland. The end of the 95-year-old prohibition pleased everyone.

Serving Suggestion

- At first, savour La Clandestine without any sugar. Then, according to your taste, try it slightly sugared.
