One of Ernest Hemingway’s Favorite Cocktails:
Whiskey & Soda
2 oz Whiskey (Scotch, bourbon, or rye)
4 oz seltzer/sparkling water (Hemingway loved Perrier)
Fill a Highball glass with ice, add ingredients, stir, serve. Option, garnish with a wedge (or peel) of lemon or lime.
The Whiskey & Soda (often called Scotch & Soda) was one of Hemingway’s favorite drinks, mentioned more times than any other.
“Only suckers worry. But he can knock the worry if he takes a Scotch and soda. The hell with what the doctor says. So he rings for one and the steward comes sleepily, and as he drinks it, the speculator is not a sucker now; except for death.”

Quote of the night
Don’t you drink? I notice you speak slightingly of the bottle. I have drunk since I was fifteen and few things have given me more pleasure. When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky? When you are cold and wet what else can warm you?
— Ernest Hemingway

Quote of the night
Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
