Best Hemingway Aka Death In The Afternoon Recipes
DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON
The earliest known recipe for this bracing little number appears in the magnificently named 1935 cocktail book, "So Red the Nose, or - Breath in the Afternoon," to which many famous authors of the day contributed recipes. This one came from Ernest Hemingway, who explained: "This was arrived at by the author and three officers of H.M.S. Danae after having spent seven hours overboard trying to get Capt. Bra Saunders' fishing boat off a bank where she had gone with us in a N.W. gale." Even under less dramatic circumstances, it's a drink that packs a punch. Pastis is often substituted for the absinthe, but if you want to be as Hemingwayesque as possible, stick to the original specs.
