Afternoon Delight
The Afternoon Delight is a timeless cocktail believed to be invented by the renowned writer Ernest Hemingway. This effervescent and potent drink is a simple yet sophisticated combination of absinthe and champagne. When absinthe is not available, Pernod or another anise-flavored liqueur can be used as a substitute. The drink's name, inspired by Hemingway's treatise on bullfighting, perfectly captures its allure and potential to liven up a lazy afternoon. However, it's worth noting that indulging in too many of these may lead to a shorter evening than expected.
