The cocktail is said to have been invented by the novelist Hemingway, who named it after his own short story. It is said that even Hemingway only drank it in the afternoon because of its high alcohol content. It has a gorgeous aroma and an easy-to-drink mouthfeel, but the alcohol comes in strong afterwards. In the beginning, champagne and black powder were used, but today black powder is no longer used and absinthe or Pernod are used.
