Even a casual student of the novelist Ernest Hemingway knows the man liked to drink. But a quick skimming of Philip Greene's new book, To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion, reveals exactly how much the man enjoyed his cups.

At a time when cocktail books have become rote, To Have and Have Another by Philip Greene subverts the formula and provides recipe-by-recipe substance to Ernest Hemingway's drinking ways. [Greene] lets the drinks lead the way but fleshes each one with meticulous detail to round out the pieces of Papa's lusty life.

A fascinating literary-booze study...

An interesting read and a must-have for Hemingway lovers and craft bartenders.
