The Hammacher Schlemmer edition. The Bar
Hemingway, cited by the Times as the best kept secret in
Paris, seated such guests as Winston Churchill, F. Scott
Fitzgerald, Theodore Roosevelt, and of course Ernest
Hemingway himself, for whom the lounge was a favorite
haunt. Colin Peter Field, bartender at the celebrated Ritz
Paris bar, has assembled this engaging catalog of cocktail
culture, including over 50 drink recipes,
difficult-to-trace genealogies of popular mixed beverages,
and anecdotes gathered from his years of experience and
research. A useful guide for party hosts and a charming
leaf-through for guests, the beautifully clothbound volume
has colorful illustrations by Yoko Ueta. Hardcover; 144
pages.
