and bistros, and is thought to be the most popular style of pre-ban

Also included in the purchase are European wrapped sugar cubes. Sugar was almost always used in preparing a traditional French/Swiss absinthe during the pre-ban era (before 1915). Meaning, it was added to absinthe by pouring (or dripping) cold water onto the sugar, allowing it to dissolve before falling into the high alcohol content absinthe. And because the amount of sugar added was determined by the drinker, like adding sugar to coffee. Some prefer more or less than others. Absinthe is always made to one’s own liking.
