Death In the Afternoon Is Named 'Cocktail of the Month'

The state store, now known as Fine Wine & Good Spirits, has its own YouTube channel. Furthermore, the Pennsylvania sellers of liquor and wines are also featuring a "cocktail of the month" feature on its channel.

This month, the channel brings its viewers the Death In the Afternoon cocktail. Made with 1.5 ounces of absinthe (in this example Vieux Carré) and a champagne flute filled to the brim with bubbly, this drink doesn't just have a fun name.

According to the video, the drink is named for Ernest Hemighway's book "Death In the Afternoon" about Spanish bullfighting. The drink has also been featured in Esquire magazine. 

The October cocktail makes for a cloudy concoction, adding to its fall theme. For more on how to make the beverage, watch the Fine Wine & Good Spirits video above. The mix could be great for your next Halloween party.
