My Favorite Death In The Afternoon Recipe
Jump to Connections

Today we’re making a Hemingway original, Death in the Afternoon (the drink not the book)! The original specs on this cocktail are a heavy pour of a strong spirit (absinthe) topped off with more alcohol (champagne) - so this one's strong. I'll be making one to Hemingway's specs, but also my favorite version of this drink that's slightly toned-down. I think it'll be a bit more approachable to a wider audience. Don't be fooled, however - this drink's still rather strong. If you plan on sipping these through the afternoon, be sure to clear your schedule!

* Just a heads-up, there are two typos in the video regarding the ounce measurements (sorry!). It's specifically for the simple and lemon juice on the second cocktail - the correct measurements are listed below!

Hey folks! It was brought to my attention that there are two typos in the video (specifically the ounce measurements for the simple and lemon juice). Sorry! 🤦‍♂️ So I used YouTube’s sophisticated editing tools to blur out the incorrect measurements so it’s less confusing, I hope that helps. The correct recipe is always in the description too, if you prefer to look at that. Thanks everyone and cheers!

"Hemingway was actually a diabetic, so he wasn't using sugar in his drinks." Nah, cause Hemingway was truly a beacon of health and healthy living :D

Death in the Afternoon was my go-to clubbing cocktail when I was nineteen, and living in Paris. So, so much fun. Everything just sparkles.

"Less death... more afternoon." 😂 Yes, that's always what I'm shooting for.

Given that your name, Anders, means different in German, you can literally added it to any drink and it makes sense: a different death in the afternoon.

Hi Anders, I only discovered your channel recently and I love every bit of it. Not only very informational for a cocktail lover like me, but you and Az create a smile on my face every time! Love it!

“More approachable” … exactly what Hemingway would have avoided 😂 Your version looks fantastic! Cheers 🥂

Appreciate your videos a ton, they’re always fun as heck. I know you did a video with the 15 essential spirits, I’d love to see one breaking down all the different liqueurs - flavor, history, and maybe what are formidable substitutes for what? Thanks again for all these they’re terrific.

My husband and I have been watching since you started posting videos. Excellent presentation and great guide for home cocktailing. Anders you are a delight and an awesome bartender/instructor. I lost it when you mentioned fire breathing and voila, flames. When we are staycationing we create a few of your recipes. Thanks for your guidance and laughs.

Good afternoon to you! Just wanted to share that I have picked up again on my 'hobby' for cocktails, started reading 'The Joy of Mixology' and watched almost all your vids. Now expanding the home bar - exciting stuff! Keep up the good work! You deserve the subs.

Definitely trying this one, Anders. Books and booze can't lose! Love the channel, btw. Been watching since 100 subs, and seeing you and Az blow up has been lots of fun. So well deserved. Your vids look ASTONISHING. Cheers to you and Az from AZ!

Great stuff, as always. Love the historical background about the cocktails. Always easier to retain when I'm receiving it somewhere other than the bar!

"3-5 five of these slowly"? As if there is any other way to Hemingway's gasoline cocktail. haha. Fortunately we have Anders to save the day. 🦸‍♂️
