The Green Fairy Fizz

The Green Fairy Fizz is a refreshing and effervescent cocktail that pays homage to the classic treatise on bullfighting by Ernest Hemingway. This cocktail combines the bold flavors of absinthe or Pernod with the light and bubbly notes of champagne, creating a potent yet easy-to-make drink. Enjoy it leisurely, but beware of its strength, as drinking too many might make you feel like you're experiencing "Death in the Afternoon."
