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.
"A fascinating literary-booze study . . ." -The Washington
Post
"An interesting read and a must-have for Hemingway lovers and craft
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
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."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"A brilliant, historical account of Hemingway and his cocktail
references." -Seattle Times
"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." -The New
York Times
"Might be the next best thing to drinking with Hemingway."
-Imbibe
"Greene, the cofounder of the Museum of the American Cocktail,
makes it easy to recreate some of Hemingway's most memorable
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
