A Farewell to Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway wasn't each astir rum. He particularly loved kirsch (or kirschwasser), the adust cherry brandy fashionable successful Germany and the Alps. Kirsch is seldom the superior tone successful a cocktail, but this noteworthy objection -- fundamentally a "kirsch Collins" -- was created by Hemingway successful 1937 and published successful his person Charles Baker's "The Gentlemen's Companion." The archetypal look calls for cherry syrup, but Spirits columnist Jason Wilson (as good arsenic Baker) recommends raspberry syrup. Note the unusual ratio and measurement cautiously for champion results: 2 1/4 ounces kirsch to 1 1/2 ounces lime juice.
