A dry absinthe without anise, complete with its traditional spoon
Serpis Dry Absinthe 55% + Absinthe Spoon combines a bottle of this dry expression with the traditional accessory used for serving it. Its main difference from other absinthes is the absence of anise, allowing the herbal and bitter character of wormwood to take centre stage.
This pack is suitable for those seeking an absinthe with no pronounced anise flavour or wishing to prepare the traditional serve with a dedicated spoon. Its strength of 55% ABV retains the intensity associated with the category, so it should be enjoyed slowly and diluted with care.
The character of wormwood without dominant anise
In many absinthes, anise defines much of the aroma and flavour. Serpis Dry 55% is made without this ingredient, allowing the distinctive character of wormwood to be appreciated more directly.
The result is a drier, more herbal and clearly defined expression. This distinctive style may appeal both to regular absinthe drinkers and to those who find the anise flavour of other expressions too dominant.
Its style also makes it suitable for mixed drinks where herbal intensity is required without adding a pronounced anise note. Due to its strength, a moderate measure is usually sufficient.
What this presentation includes
- One bottle of Serpis Dry Absinthe at 55% ABV.
- One dedicated absinthe spoon.
The spoon can be used to hold a sugar cube during the traditional preparation and makes it easier to add water slowly over the glass. It also completes the presentation as a gift or as an addition to a small collection of cocktail accessories.
How to serve Serpis Dry Absinthe 55%
It can be served using the classic method by placing the spoon over the glass and gradually pouring in very cold water. Dilution reduces the alcoholic strength and allows its herbal character to emerge more clearly.
The included spoon can also be used for the traditional sugar ritual. When fire is used, this should only be done with suitable equipment, well away from the bottle and any flammable materials.
Serpis Dry Absinthe 55% + Absinthe Spoon is particularly suitable for those wishing to try an absinthe without anise, prepare a traditional serve and appreciate the distinctive profile of wormwood more clearly.
