Which one fits your taste?
Death in the Afternoon
A Hemingway original pairing a dash of absinthe with chilled champagne for a herbal, potent fizz.
Hugo Spritz
Northern Italy's beloved elderflower spritz: St-Germain liqueur, prosecco, and fresh mint with a squeeze of lime — delicate, floral, and supremely refreshing.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Death in the Afternoon if you want something boozy and spirit-forward. Go with the Hugo Spritz if you'd rather have something sweet and approachable and light and refreshing. Both are herbal and aromatic, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
