His advice, circa 1935: "Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly."

Warning: I recommend only drinking one or maybe two of these drinks. You are mixing Wine and Liquor - and a hell of a liquor at that. I got really drunk off of these before and not only was it a death in the afternoon, but also that night, the next morning,and well into the next afternoon. .
