I’m a newbie to rum, but I need to make this drink…

The Sun Also Rises was also my first Hemmingway book!

I feel the same way about Willa Cather as you do about Hemmingway, and what a fun step out of your beloved baking. Will you never stop surprising us?

How have I not thought of a Mason jar shaker? Genius!

Hemingway is my FAVORITE! I’ve read all his books and am sad there aren’t any new ones to discover :/

His books have a way of taking you out of your own life and into another world, even after you’ve put one down. “Mildly depressed and needing a drink” – well said.

My interest in a Hemingway was just piqued yesterday when I read this description of it on Pen & Palate “It tastes of pre-revolution Cuba, homoeroticism, and six-toed cats.” And then I come across this post today – so I need to try a Hemingway ASAP (obviously). Beautifully written post BTW.

I love the way you write. And, I’m curious about the recipe. Great article. Thanks!

The first time I read Hemingway, it was much too heavy-feeling for me (I was really young too). My friend recommended The Paris Wife to me last year, about his first wife and their relationship, and I loved it but it also made me feel really negatively about him which I suppose isn’t actually fair so I think I’ll give him another try. If you haven’t read it, I recommend it (I’m just noticing Francesca’s comment about the book too – it really is a great read). This cocktail is a new one to me but sounds really good!

I really love this post! I never studied Hemingway at school and discovered him independently as an adult. I love his books and his depth and am weirdly drawn to his torment. Last year I read The Paris Wife, a ‘factual novel’ (whatever that means) about his life with Hadley Hemingway (his first wife) but from her perspective and it was a great read; quite emotionally dark and perverse at times but I couldn’t put it down – I highly recommend it. Have a good week, looking forward to the next post! Francesca

YES. This is my favourite drink, I order it everywhere that will let me. I am so pleased to see there is no sugar as so many bartenders ruin it by adding it in. I totally agree, the first ever sip is not the best mouthful but they are very moreish, and as soon as you are accustomed to that harsh taste, no drink will compare.

For the record, I am a massive hemingway fan too! great post.
