History

Delicately sweetened lime and fizz with faint aniseed notes from the absinthe.

This cocktail, a variation on Ernest Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, features a lime-forward profile. A different rendition, reportedly developed at the Cantineros' Club, a well-known Cuban bar school, suggests pouring a shot of Pernod anis into a chilled glass, followed by champagne.
