He Knows His Onions
What is true is that Hemingway loved his drinks as cold as ice. He wasn’t just known to freeze his cocktail glasses but also his cocktail onions! He also once described a method of using tennis ball cans to make ice tubes for mixing martinis and bragged that he made the coldest Martini in the world.
The glasses were so cold, he claimed that “you can’t hold it in your hand. It sticks to the fingers.” Fingers that should have been used for typing! Typing while standing up.
