The Elliot Spritzer

This is basically a Death in the Afternoon variant. Of course, the story is champagne (sweetness of success) followed by the absinthe (madness and sex) and then the Campari (a bitter, blood red end).
Also has 2 other sweeter, versions

A couple of versions created by Chris Carlsson, SpiritsReview.com

Original (Quite bitter, especially at the end!)

1/2 oz Campari
1 oz absinthe
3 oz champagne

Pour the Campari into a champagne flute.
Float 1 oz of Absinthe (I prefer the Kubler Clear/white).
Float the champagne over all of it. (The absinthe will mix with the champagne).

Another method to make it is to add the Absinthe and champagne first then put the Campari in the bottom using a turkey baster or other syringe type device to layer it below the other ingredients.You can sweeten this up by adding sugar or simple syrup to the absinthe before hand.
