Death in the Afternoon

Mixed Drink Recipe from Cocktail Builder

1.5 oz of absinthe
4.5 oz of Champagne

Pour the absinthe into a Champagne flute. Top with the Champagne. Champion drinker Ernest Hemingway claimed to have invented the Death in the Afternoon cocktail himself. His exact instructions suggested adding iced Champagne to a jigger of absinthe until it attained "the proper opalescent milkiness," then proceeding to drink three to five of the cocktails in one sitting.
