{"product_id":"death-in-the-afternoon-cocktailpakke","title":"Death in the Afternoon Cocktail Kit","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDeath in the Afternoon is a potent blend of absinthe and champagne. It shares its name with Ernest Hemingway's 1932 book on Spanish bullfighting, and the drink was reportedly created by the author after he enjoyed absinthe during his time in France. Hemingway is as well-known for his writing as he is for his drinking. Throughout his books and his life, he championed cocktails like the Daiquiri and \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/mojito-cocktailpakke\"\u003eMojito\u003c\/a\u003e, but nothing captures the imagination quite like Death in the Afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the book, Hemingway writes: \"Pour one jigger of absinthe into a champagne glass. Add iced champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.\" (Of course, you are free to consume fewer than the recommended dose.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe cocktail's opalescent milkiness occurs when the champagne hits the absinthe. The aromatic compounds in absinthe are more soluble in alcohol than in water, so when the absinthe is diluted, these compounds fall out of solution and cluster together – what we see as cloudiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eScience aside, Death in the Afternoon is a great way to explore absinthe for those new to the high-proof spirit. The easy-to-make drink merges absinthe with dry, bubbly champagne, creating a effervescent cocktail that is strong yet surprisingly refreshing. Kickstart your day by enjoying one at brunch, or kill an entire afternoon while reading a book by the cocktail's creator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested recipe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e4.5 cl Absinthe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e13.5 cl Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou purchase the following in the cocktail package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 bottle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/products\/lehmann-absinthe-onirique\"\u003eLehmann Absinthe Onirique\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 bottle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rombo.dk\/products\/monmarthe-privilege-brut\"\u003eMonmarthe Privilege Brut Champagne\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteps:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePour Absinthe into a champagne glass (preferably a coupe)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSlowly pour the champagne over it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe original is very strong, so it might be worthwhile to start with a lower amount of absinthe the first time you make it.
