Outstanding writer Ernest Hemingway was known all over the world not only for his works, but also for his alcohol addictions. As the writer noted: “Don't waste time on churches, government buildings or squares. If you want to know the peculiarities of a particular culture, spend the night in local bars. This is exactly what he did when he visited a new city. Hemingway was unashamedly proud of his habits and enjoyed writing about his love of alcohol. This review presents his favorite drinks.
Mojito
Hemingway was a regular at a Cuban bar in Havana Floridita … Today it houses a sculpture by Ernest Hemingway, in front of which bartenders display a cocktail in memory of the great writer. "Mojito" … In the morning he liked to drink it. However, not everyone believes this story. Many consider it to be a marketing ploy to popularize the mojito. It is said that Hemigway was a diabetic and preferred dry drinks, and the sweet mojito harmed him.
Martini
Dry martini was one of the writer's favorite drinks. Hemingway preferred to drink it scorching ice. The Martini dry was so icy that my fingers would stick to the glass.
Whiskey
"Never put off kissing pretty girls and a bottle of great whiskey until later." Despite the writer's addiction to cocktails, this drink accompanied him on every journey.
Bloody Mary
Ernest Hemingway is mistakenly credited with creating the cocktail "Bloody Mary" … He was allegedly forbidden to drink by the doctor. And to drown out the smell of vodka, the writer added tomato juice and spices there. And the name came from the name of his wife Mary. Be that as it may, but the writer preferred to prepare the drink in a jug, the dishes of a smaller volume were not acceptable for him.
Daiquiri
If mojito was considered Hemingway's "morning" drink, then daiquiri - "evening". The drink was prepared on the basis of rum, sugar, lime juice, ice and a few drops of Maraschino liqueur. Hemingway ordered it, tasted it leisurely and asked for sugar-free and double rum. This is how the cocktail appeared Double papa.
Death in the afternoon
The writer invented this cocktail himself and named it like his book. "Death in the Afternoon" … Pour absinthe into a glass of champagne, equal in volume to an eaten egg. Add ice and wait until the drink reaches the "opal" state. You need to drink it very slowly.
Wine
“Wine is a great thing. It helps to forget all bad things.” (A Farewell to Arms) Hemingway preferred to drink Italian ruby Chianti at dinner.
Looking at the alcohol addictions of Ernest Hemingway, we can say - this is a holiday that is always with you. In America, there are even contests for the writer's twins. A bar in the Florida Keys archipelago, 121 white-bearded old men and the sea are the main components of the annual holiday named after Hemingway.
