Probably one of the most mysterious of drinks, Absinthe has a reputation as something of a bad boy amongst drinks. We offer a themed Absinthe cart for hire, complete with fountains, spoons, sugar lumps and a skilled server to properly prepare a louched drink.
One of the ingredients of Absinthe is Wormwood, which supposed to have hallucinogenic properties, indeed a Swiss gentleman, after spending a day drinking Absinthe went home and murdered his family helping lead to a ban on the drink throughout much of the World. Though ironically enough, it was never banned in England.
How Is Absinthe Served
Like most things in moderation it is no more potent than other strong spirits. One popular mistake people make is trying to drink it like a shot, this is totally wrong, The correct method is to drip iced water from an Absinthe fountain, onto a sugar lump suspended over a glass of Absinthe by a special slotted spoon. The sugared water turns the green Absinthe into a milky white drink with a strong refreshing aniseed flavour.
Fabulous Absinthe Bottles
Absinthe is available in various strengths and bottles, with some selling for thousands of pounds!
Our Absinthe carts come with 2 fountains, Absinthe spoons, sugar lumps, ice and an operator to both prepare your drinks and explain the history of Absinthe to your guests.
Our standard Absinthe cart is usually one of our Victorian style carts but given a slightly mystic makoever with skulls, a mist machine and candles to create something that is sure to make an impact, though it can also be supplied on any of our range of standard carts.
