The Kiss of Death Absinthe Set is not to be trifled with. The Deluxe Bundle contains a bottle of Strong68 Absinthe, a bottle of Wormwood Bitters, four Skull Absinthe glasses, four stainless steel "Gothic" absinthe spoons, a "Chat IV" absinthe fountain, and a bag of individually wrapped absinthe sugar cubes.
Absinthe Strong68, as the name suggests, is a particularly strong absinthe. This means it has a high alcohol content of 68% and is distilled with a generous amount of wormwood. Its flavor is classic, meaning it tastes of herbs, primarily anise, fennel, and wormwood. It is distilled in France using traditional methods. Its green color comes exclusively from natural herbs (no artificial coloring). The wormwood content contributes a slightly bitter, pleasantly robust flavor.
Included in the set: An Absinthe Fountain
A Chat IV Absinthe Fountain is included in the Deluxe Bundle. With it, you can prepare your absinthe in a particularly stylish and impressive way. This accessory ensures the best "louche." Louche is the white cloudiness that appears when absinthe mixes with water. Because a fountain releases the water into the Absinthe only drop by drop, you can witness a truly spectacular effect. Here's how it works in detail: First, place a sugar cube on the absinthe spoon, then place it on the glass filled with absinthe and slowly open the fountain's taps. Slow dripping (not a stream) allows the sugar to dissolve best, resulting in a particularly intense cloudiness in the absinthe. The absinthe is ready when the water and absinthe are completely mixed. We recommend a ratio of one part absinthe to two parts water.
Wormwood Bitters for the Kiss of Death: The Recipe
You can further intensify the iconic wormwood flavor of absinthe with the Wormwood Bitters included in the set . It's a tincture made from distilled and macerated wormwood, along with wormwood oil. You'll need the bitters to prepare the Kiss of Death. Here's how to make it: Prepare the absinthe classically with ice-cold water from your absinthe fountain and 1-2 sugar cubes. We recommend a ratio of one part absinthe to two parts water. Then, enhance the absinthe with two dashes of the bitters. To do this, fill the glass pipette with the bitters twice. This wormwood boost gives the drink its characteristic note. This also explains the name of the set, Kiss of Death: A bittersweet moment of seduction with a dangerous ending.
