Absinthe Glass - Pontarlier Traditional

$19.95
$19.95

The Pontarlier Traditional glass, with its distinctive reservoir at the base, is an iconic piece of barware intimately tied to the ritual of absinthe preparation. Designed in the era when absinthe first gained popularity, the reservoir serves a practical purpose: it measures the perfect amount of absinthe before water is added. The wide mouth and flared top allow for the release of the spirit's complex botanical aromas, enhancing the tasting experience.

Crafted with a nod to history, this glass is not merely a drinking vessel but a conversation piece, inviting a deeper appreciation for the "Green Fairy's" storied past. Whether for use in traditional absinthe service or simply to appreciate its classic design, the Pontarlier glass remains a must-have for connoisseurs.

The reservoir measures 25 ml, which is the standard for a glass of absinthe of this size. It is a machine-molded glass, therefore thick and strong - ideal for intensive use in a bar or restaurant.
