How do you properly perform the ritual of pouring absinthe?

To properly perform the ritual of pouring absinthe, start by placing a sugar cube on a slotted spoon over a glass of absinthe. Slowly pour ice-cold water over the sugar cube to dissolve it into the absinthe. The water will turn the absinthe cloudy, releasing its flavors and aromas. Enjoy the drink slowly and savor the experience.
