Notes

A Hemingway original, from "So Red the Nose, or Breath in the Afternoon", a cocktail book published in 1935 with contributions from famous authors.

"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."
