Although this champagne and absinthe cocktail, invented by Ernest Hemingway, shares the same name as his novel, it bears no direct connection to the book. It owes its name to the author's suggestion that drinking three to five glasses in a row could lead to death in the afternoon. To make the "dying" less painful, this recipe simply suggests rinsing the sides of the glass with absinthe.
