Death in the Afternoon is a non-fiction book written by Ernest Hemingway about the ceremony and traditions of Spanish bullfighting, published in 1932. An expert drinker himself, Hemingway also claimed to have invented the cocktail Death in the Afternoon, a risky pairing of absinthe and Champagne. 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.

 

Myself, I'm very much against bullfighting. And please drink responsibly!
