You do have to balance the amount of anise you use, IMO, otherwise the anise overpowers the champagne.

Just that we will wait to come across some real absinthe. I suppose the writer and inventor of this cocktail needed inspiration during writing. It does look very attractive especially the first picture with the dark background.

I am with you on changing up the original recipe a tad to go a bit lighter on the Absinthe. I heard that absinthe glows in the dark? Does it? Great background on Hemmingway and his original drink.
