Absinthe Sugar Cubes

Anyone know what’s particularly different about the sugar cubes used in the Absinthe ritual? I know normal ones don’t work well at all. They just don’t catch fire the way they’re supposed to.

I imagine that the main difference is probably the granularity of the sugar. If that’s the case then I could probably make them, which would be awesome. Especially if I used Sugar Skulls.

I’ve no particular aversion to buying them, certainly. I just can’t seem to find where to do it. And now that liquor stores in the US are starting to sell Absinthe, I’ve really got to get ahead of the game.

Any ideas?
