Absinthe Drip Cocktail (French method)

Death in the Afternoon
🥃 Serve in: Margarita Glass
Absinthe gets topped with Champagne here -- a notoriously strong Hemingway-associated classic named for his 1932 book about bullfighting. Hemingway himself reportedly recommended drinking three to five slowly, a warning genuinely worth heeding given absinthe's potency. The Champagne's bubbles carry the anise aromatics upward with every sip. A must-try for literary cocktail history buffs, best approached with real restraint.
