It's Enough to Make You Drink
post by Michelle Griep
It's snowy. It's cold. And I'm slugging back a hot mug of ginger tea. Yeah, it's good, but my real favorite beverage of choice? Wow. That's a tough call. I'm going to go with a pot of French press crafted Burundi or Peru with a splash of heavy whipping cream. Nectar of the gods, I say.
But a lot of other writers tended to lean toward the hooch. Here is a list of some famous authors and their beverage of choice . . .
Jack Kerouac
Favorite Drink: Margarita
Recipe: 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar, 1.5 oz. tequila, .5 oz. triple sec, lime juice, lime wedge, salt, ice cubes
Ernest Hemingway
Favorite Drink: Mojito

Tennessee Williams
Favorite Drink: Ramos Fizz
