Hemingway champagne Also called Death in the Afternoon, this was the drink Ernest Hemingway recommended when invited to contribute to a 1935 cocktail book. His instruction: “Pour one jigger absinthe into a champagne glass. Add iced champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.” Other cocktails invented by the dipsomaniac novelist include Death in the Gulf Stream (a mix of gin, lime and bitters), the Hemingway daiquiri (made with grapefruit juice instead of sugar and with a splash of maraschino liqueur) and the Hemingway Hammer (Bacardi and various fruit liqueurs)
