Périgord Glass

The Périgord Absinthe glass has a very traditional design. The slimmer bottom guarantees perfect handling. You can also use this glass for wine or other drinks, as it does not have a reservoir in the stem.

Drinking Absinthe with an Absinthe glass, spoon and sugar

In the following video, you can see how you prepare Absinthe the traditional French way. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this ritual. This is how it works: You place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with water and magically louches from green to an opalescent white color. Santé, your sugared Absinthe is prepared!

Frequently Asked Questions about the
Product

The Périgord glass is a classic French-inspired drinking glass, distinguished by its simple, elegant shape. It is traditionally used for absinthe, but is also suitable for other fine spirits.

Unlike the Pontarlier glass, the Périgord glass has no fixed reservoir or measuring mark. It is designed for connoisseurs who wish to measure their absinthe freely and individually.

The minimalist design focuses all attention on the absinthe itself. Aromas, louche effect, and color take center stage, unaffected by striking glass details.

The Périgord glass is particularly suitable for the classic enjoyment with water, when the amount of absinthe is measured by feel or with a separate measuring glass. It is often preferred by experienced absinthe drinkers.

This glass is aimed at purists and lovers of simple elegance who want to enjoy absinthe in style and value shape, balance and versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
general

For the traditional ritual, three basics are usually sufficient: an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, and ice-cold water (e.g., from a carafe). Sugar cubes are optional. Those who prepare Absinthe more frequently or serve multiple people often use a fountain or a brouilleur for particularly even dripping.

An Absinthe glass is shaped to better highlight the aroma and mixing ratio. Many classic models (e.g., Pontarlier glasses) support the typical dilution with water and ensure that the louche effect develops beautifully and controllably – something that often appears less "harmonious" in a simple tumbler.

The Absinthe spoon is placed over the glass to hold a sugar cube while water slowly drips over it. "The right one" primarily depends on the glass size and style: It is important that it rests steadily and offers enough surface area for the water to flow through evenly.

Carafe: simple, flexible, ideal for beginners Brouilleur: controlled drip directly onto the glass, very classic Fountain: perfect for quiet, even dripping and when several glasses are to be prepared one after another (or simultaneously) – often the "ritual upgrade."

For glasses: clean gently, especially with delicate shapes or decorations – ideally with mild dish soap and a soft cloth. Spoons (depending on material/finish) should be stored dry to maintain their surface and shine. For delicate or coated items, hand washing is usually the safest option.
