Review
[A] “fascinating literary-booze study…”
—Washington Post
“An interesting read and a must-have for Hemingway lovers and craft bartenders.”
—Kirkus
“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
“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
“[M]ight be the next best thing to drinking with Hemingway.”
—Imbibe
“Greene, the co-founder 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

An amazing read and cocktail guide full of unheard stories of a literary giant!

To say the author did Hemingway justice is a true understatement. This is no ordinary cocktail book, yet an insider's journey into the world of one of the most fascinating world icons, how he lived, how he drank, and all the stories in between that I've never heard of! I recommend this as a gift for the spirit lover, the Hemingway fanatic, storyteller, or history buff - you really can't go wrong. I just bought 8 for the holiday season! I can't wait to start making some of these classic libations. Cheers!

Totally enjoyed this book. Being a huge Hemingway fan, I loved the way each cocktail was tied in to stories that I knew by heart but didn't always know the recipe. Lots of fun and well and respectfully written.
