fonte de absinto; torre de absinto
No literal, fonte de absinto. Mas como temos a "torre de chopp", "torre de absinto" também me parece uma boa opção.
A fonte (ou torre) de absinto:

Nesse site explica que, apesar do nome, a fonte (ou torre) é usada para fornecer água, e não absinto, porque ele raramente é bebido puro:

Outra ideia seria traduzir como
Fonte de água para absinto
Não há tradução consagrada, então vai de gosto...

Discussion
An absinthe fountain, contrary to what one might think, is not for dispensing absinthe, but rather for dispensing water. Absinthe is rarely drunk neat, and an absinthe fountain is an accessory used to deliver the required amount of ice-cold water into a glass of the high-proof drink
