100 Wrapped Absinthe Sugar Cubes (50 Packets)

These European made wrapped sugar cubes are used in cafes and bistros throughout Europe. Our pressed cubed sugar is the perfect way to sweeten your absinthe.

Because of the high content of alcohol in absinthe, sugar will not dissolve in the liquor without first being diluted with water. It is for this reason that water is slowly dripped onto a sugar cube which allows the sugar water to fall into the glass of absinthe and mix with the absinthe. Besides the French being known for having a big sweet tooth, the sugar is also used to cut the bitterness of absinthe. It was highly frowned upon to drink absinthe without sugar during the pre-ban era (before 1915).

  • Includes 100 wrapped sugar cubes (50 packets).
  • Packets are individually wrapped, containing 2 cubes each.
  • Packets measure 1.25" long x 5/8" wide x 3/8" high.

    So happy

    Posted by Paul on Jul 18th 2024

    For some reason, tablet sugar suitable for proper prep of absinthe is getting harder and harder to find in Canada, so I was really pleased to find it for a great price and quantity at Maison Absinthe. It arrived quickly and expertly packaged. To maximize my shipping/product cost ratio, I also bought a spoon to add to my collection. It’s absolutely beautiful, and came five additional sugar tablets of its own—completely unexpected, and very thoughtful of the M.A. folks! I recommend these folks with no reservations!

    These are Great little novelties! What a great finishing touch to my Absinthe ritual experience. The sugar itself is good and the Green wrapping is awesome!
