Metalsmith Corey Ackelmire turns the absinthe ritual into a work of art with this singular sterling silver spoon, the only piece of its kind she has created. Hand-forged in solid .925 silver, it features a symmetrical, double-handled form that rests gracefully across the rim of the glass, poised above the drink like a small architectural bridge. At the center, a gently curved, perforated bowl is shaped to cradle sugar as water is slowly poured through, allowing absinthe to bloom in the traditional louche. The polished surfaces glow with a soft, silvery sheen, while the faint memory of hammer marks speaks quietly to Corey’s touch at the bench. Equal parts bar tool and objet d’art, this absinthe spoon transforms preparation into ceremony—an heirloom of rare refinement for those who savor the beauty of the pour as much as the drink itself.
