Ernest Hemingway was both a great writer and a notorious drinker-facts that seep through the pages of his novels with each cocktail his characters consume.
Philip Greene is one of the founders of the Museum of the American
Cocktail in New Orleans. He is a sought-after speaker on topics
within cocktail history, as well as a mixology consultant for
restaurants and institutions across the world.
A descendant of the Peychaud family of New Orleans, Greene counts
among his ancestors the illustrious Antoine Amedee Peychaud, the
nineteenth-century New Orleans pharmacist who created Peychaud's
Bitters (essential to a true Sazerac) and is credited with coining
the term "cocktail."
By day, Philip serves as Trademark and Internet Counsel for the
U.S. Marine Corps, stationed at the Pentagon. He lives in
Washington, DC, with his wife and three daughters.

Post

bartenders.” —Kirkus Reviews
“At a time when cocktail books have become rote, To Have and Have
Another by Philip Greene subverts the formula and provides

meticulous detail to round out the pieces of Papa’s lusty
life.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“A brilliant, historical account of Hemingway and his cocktail
references.” —Seattle Times

“Might be the next best thing to drinking with
Hemingway.” —Imbibe

literary libations, including the Dripped Absinthe from For Whom
the Bell Tolls and the Jack Rose from The Sun Also
Rises.” —Wine Enthusiast
“[A]n off-beat and worthy addition to the Papa bookshelf,
especially for the imbibers among us.”—The Florida Book Review
“To Have and Have Another is light and engaging, a fast read that
works as both a dictionary of cocktails and a reference text on
Hemingway’s works and personal life.”—Serious Eats
