That time of year

The Green Fairy!
Quite refreshing on a hot, humid day, when prepare using the Parisian Technique. Lacking a proper absinthe fountain, I filled a standard hard "BPA-Free" water bottle with ice and added cold water. Didn't work as well as the soft water bottle I used last year, but which is now standing by to top off the cat's drinking fountain, AKA table-top water feature.  (You want a dribble, not a torrent...)

Previous absinthe posts:
Note that, since the first of these posts, we have acquired a couple of proper absinthe spoons, and even a couple of absinthe glasses.   With this glass design (above) you fill the "bulb" with absinthe and simply top off with the ice water.

Have you considered obtaining a burette? It would make an excellent steampunk substitute* for an absinthe fountain....
