Death in the Afternoon

Death in the Afternoon is a book published by Ernest Hemingway in 1932 and depicts the ceremony and traditions of Spanish Bullfighting. The book provides readers with the history and magnificence of the sport
along with the deeper contemplation on the nature of fear and courage. Hemingway became a bullfighting aficionado after seeing the Pamplona fiesta in the 1920s which he also wrote about in The Sun Also Rises.

Death in the Afternoon also refers to a cocktail that is said was invented by the writer himself, with two ingredients Absinthe and Champagne. I had a chance to try it and I can say it's very tasty and simple to make for you're next party or when you're sitting relaxing. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

God bless & Cheers,
