The myth. The legend. The rock star of his time. He loved, he fought, he drank. But that was Papa – \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;he lived, goddammit\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;He put \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;everything into his work\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. All the jaunts and adventures, all the love and anger. He wrote to explain, not to confuse. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Straight and to the point\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. He liked his language like he enjoyed his drinks. “\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;No sugar. No fancying.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;” \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Whether applied to his writing or his Spirits, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;he always went all out\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Like him or not, Hem was a man of his word and a man of the world.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;“\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;That’s all we do, isn’t it — look at things and try new drinks?\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;” \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;(Ernest Hemingway)\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Let’s, then.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The notorious writer was a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;man of many desires\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; (and many wives). And this Spirit selection reflects his style and preference. “Preference” being the operative word since Hemingway was \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;an unconditional bon vivant\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; when it came to booze. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;He took it all in\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; — from Paris to Cuba, bullfights to safaris, and Negronis to Daiquiris. Like his characters, Hemingway was\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; rarely found without a glass in his hands\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Although he was usually satisfied with whatever was closest, he had his favorites. As we all do.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;It’s hard to separate fact from fiction when it comes to Hemingway, but \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;we can vouch \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;for the following picks. While covering WWII from the front lines, he kept his canteen filled with \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Gin\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. He loved \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Absinthe\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; so much, he created his own cocktail based on the green fairy. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Rum\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and Cuba were his shelter and refuge in the later years. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Despite not being particularly picky when it came to his alcohol, Hemingway was a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;sophisticated drinker\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, a connoisseur who knew what was good. When it comes to Gin, Absinthe and Rum, these are \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the cream of the crop\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. And if we know one thing about Papa, it’s that he appreciated the finer things in life. This selection will appease \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;your inner Hemingway\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; because they’re simply some of the best Spirits available. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We tip our hats to the man \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;who lived to the fullest\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. He had his flaws, but he embraced them \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;with a smile on his face\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. “\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;In order to write about life, first you must live it.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;” \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Heming-way\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;1) \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Papa\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was no stranger to war and brutality. Luckily, he knew a secret remedy. “Gin could fortify, mollify and cauterize practically all internal and external injuries,” he claimed. You’d better write that down. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;2) \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Hemingway\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; knew a thing or two about overcoming injuries since he survived malaria, pneumonia, a ruptured kidney, a ruptured spleen, a fractured skull and a crushed vertebra — to name just a few. He also recovered from two plane crashes and three car crashes. In the end, he took a shotgun to himself. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;3) Hemingway was\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; quite the ladies’ man\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. He was married four times. But he didn’t get along with everybody — after falling out with Gertrude Stein, the famous writer who had written the phrase “a rose is a rose is a rose,” she received a telegram from Papa that read: “A bitch is a bitch is a bitch.” Ouch.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;4) Contrary to popular belief, the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Mojito was NOT Hemingway’s favorite drink\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. In fact, there’s no proof he ever even tried one. A handwritten engraving on the wall of Cuba’s famous La Bodeguita del Medio declaring his love for this specific cocktail is most likely a forgery. Besides, Papa took most of his drinks without sugar, an integral part of the Mojito recipe. He loved other Rum cocktails though. His favorites were the Daiquiri and Josie Russel.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;5) Hemingway was not only an avid consumer of cocktails, but also\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; quite the inventor\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. He supposedly came up with Death in the Afternoon — a potent blend of Absinthe and Champagne — while drinking in Paris with his decadent Lost Generation contemporaries. Slainté!\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;6) The \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;tipsy novelist\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; once stole a urinal from his favorite bar claiming he had “pissed away” enough money there and deserved to take it home.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;7) The secret to \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Hemingway’s drinking stamina\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;? His supposed lack of a hangover. He also relied on a combination of tomato juice and beer the next morning to ease some of the pain.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135689875638,"sku":"60994","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/hemingway-swaysvol-2_60994_01_e6f2e2f4_5e355da5-b1f2-4cb2-a935-5c9c5f984025.jpg?v=1779276794","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/hemingway-swaysvol-2-60994","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
