Death in the Afternoon
This drink, a simple combination of absinthe and sparkling wine, is said to have been one of Hemingway's favorites when he was living in France. He would enjoy three to five of these in one sitting (yeah, writers like to drink). The drink's milky appearance and herbaceous flavor will certainly loosen enough of your inhibitions to leave the house wearing that Lady Gaga meat outfit.
How to make a Death in the Afternoon at home: All you need is a bottle of your favorite absinthe (we recommend Marilyn Manson's Mansinthe, naturally) and bubbly. Add 1/2 to 1 ounce of absinthe to a champagne flute and fill with sparkling wine.
Where to have it made for you: Rye
Bonus: Jon Gasparini is adding other spooky cocktails for the Halloween season at Rye.
