In this entertaining homage to the golden age of the
cocktail, illustrator Edward Hemingway and writer Mark
Bailey present the best (and thirstiest) American writers,
their favorite cocktails, true stories of their saucy
escapades, and intoxicating excerpts from their literary
works. It’s the perfect blend of classic cocktail recipes,
literary history, and tales of the good old days of
extravagant Martini lunches and delicious excess.
When Algonquin Round Table legend Robert Benchley was asked
if he knew that drinking was a slow death, Benchley took a
sip of his cocktail and replied, “So who’s in a hurry?”
Hunter S. Thompson took Muhammad Ali’s health tip to eat
grapefruit every day; he just added liquor to the mix.
Invited to a “come as you are” party, F. Scott Fitzgerald
and his wife, Zelda, arrived in their pajamas ready for
their cocktail of choice: a Gin Rickey.
Forty-three
classic American writers, forty-three authentic cocktail
recipes, forty-three telling anecdotes about the high life,
and forty-three samples of the best writing in literature
–Hemingway & Bailey’s Bartending Guide to Great
American Writers delivers straight-up fun.
