Praise for

TO HAVE AND HAVE ANOTHER

For aficionados, Ernest Hemingway was and always will be the real Most Interesting Man in the World. Philip Greenes To Have and Have Another is a connoisseurs guide to the cocktails that give his prose its smoky, palate-pleasing flavor. From the Anis del Toro of Spains white hills to Havanas famous Papa Doble and the whiskey sours of Lost Generation Paris, this book offers the ultimate sophisticates guide to the tumbler and shaker. True Hemingway fans will savor every word.

Kirk Curnutt, author of Coffee with Hemingway

Philip Greenes wonderful book To Have and To Have Another documents Hemingways love affair with booze from a nineteen-year-old ambulance driver in WWI Italy, until he stopped writing toward the end when even drink was no consolation for his afflictions. The book is completely satisfying on all levels, and by the last drink, Mr. Greenes view, through the bottom of a cocktail glass, has revealed Hemingway the man.... Oh yes, and dont forget, Never mix more than one Martini at a time.

Dale DeGroff, King Cocktail, author of Craft of the Cocktail and The Essential Cocktail

Hemingway once quipped that aboard Pilar guests should be female, very beautiful, and bearing champagne. Phils book provides us with many other delightful cocktail choices that would have been equally welcome on Pilar, or anywhere Hemingway fans are gathered. Cheers!

Claudia Pennington, Executive Director, Key West Art and Historical Society

Phil Greene hasat last!discovered the Missing Recipe Book! Hemingway was never shy about mentioning specific cocktails in his fiction. And each time I come across a drink in Hemingways writing I look in vain for a footnote to explain context and content. Greene has compiled what amounts to a book-length footnote to Hemingways liquid references, complete with definitive recipes. All annotations should lead so directly to the bar.

Wayne Curtis, Atlantic columnist and author of And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails

Every page in this very entertaining book leaves the reader thirsty for more. I highly recommend that you first turn straight to page 82 and fix yourself one of the two Daiquiri recipes youll find there. And be prepared to fix more drinks as you read on. Theres nothing quite like literary drinking.

Gary Regan, author of The Joy of Mixology

His recipes are proven and the histories are true. Papa would have been on the stool next to Phil Greene in any bar, from Paris to Key West to Havana.

Benjamin Dink Bruce, Hemingway expert and son of close Hemingway friends Betty and Toby Bruce

If wine is bottled poetry, Greenes book is a mixologists moveable feast.

Dave Gonzales, Events Director, Hemingway Home and Museum, Key West

FOREWORD

There are two types of writers. One will write, for example, She walked up to the bar and ordered a drink. It came and she took a cautious sip. The morning was looking up. The other kind will say something more along these lines: She walked up to the bar and ordered a Martini, very dry, whereupon the bartender filled a large glass with ice, poured a long stream of Gordons gin over it, cast a regretful glance at the vermouth bottle, and set the ice rotating with a long silver spoon. Finally, he strained the silver liquid into a chilled,
