Trying out every cocktail in the book "How to Drink like a Writer"

This week in the “How to Drink like a Writer” it’s time for the writer with one of the weirdest names I know – and one that’s always really bothered me – and his long drink, which involves my favorite vodka – almost.

Each week I try a new cocktail or favorite alcoholic drink from the book "How to Drink Like a Writer" – each cocktail/drink somehow identified with a famous writer, from Shakespeare to Hemingway to R.O. Kwon. As we say in German: Prost – and have a great week everyone!
