Death in the Afternoon / Hopes & Dreams Recipe

Recipe

Author Ernest Hemingway’s original recipe:

“Pour 1 jigger of [Absinthia Absinthe Superieure] into a champagne glass. Add iced champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.”

In these times, Absinthia prefers to call this cocktail Hopes & Dreams and really, a bar spoon of Absinthe is perfect. Champagne is the hope, absinthe the dream. Cheers!

Description: Absinthia Absinthe Verte is a hallmark of quality Absinthe. It's a Swiss-style Verte that boasts an earthy, grassy flavor with a natural sweetness. Our Verte is a fennel-forward spirit with upfront notes of anise that pop on the palate.

Our Verte features the holy trinity of grande wormwood, anise, and fennel, with the addition of coriander, which produces a pronounced flavor profile. This unique blend of complex flavors expresses hints of lemon to earthy & grassy notes. It's a perfectly balanced spirit from its smooth start to its light aftertaste.  

It's also a testament to the art of traditional Absinthe distillation, which delivers a brilliantly clear, colorless spirit. We then meticulously soak the spirit in a bath of hyssop, melissa (lemon balm), & petite wormwood to produce a beautiful green hue.
