In addition to being one of the 20th century’s greatest writers (and famous for his excessive ways), Hemingway experienced life to the fullest from all corners of the world, from his home in Key West to extended stays in Paris and Cuba and expeditions in Africa. Sample select cocktails as Greene shares Hemingway’s life, writings, and travels through the lens of the icon’s favorite drinks, watering holes, and drinking buddies.
