Death in the Afternoon Cocktail Mon, Aug 22, 22 Death in the Afternoon Cocktail Photo by Volodymyr Tokar on Unsplash Also referred to as Hemingway Champagne, this potent cocktail was created by Ernest Hemingway a few years after he published a non fiction book under the same name about the ceremony and traditions of Spanish bullfighting. In honor of National Absinthe Day we offer you a variation on Hemingway’s milky, iridescent concoction. Enjoy! In a small wine glass or Champagne coupe add 1 oz. Absinthe (or Pernod) 1 tsp simple syrup (or a sugar cube if you really love bubbles) Top with Champagne or Sparkling Wine
