литературные коктейли:

In Thomas Pynchon’s newest novel [“Inherent Vice”[1]], the main character Doc Sportello, a Lebowski-esque private detective, frequents the Belaying Pin restaurant. Known for its devil-ray filet deep-fried in beer batter and house anchovy loaf, the waitress always recommends Tequila Zombies because, “You’ll want to be good and f**ked up by the time this [food] arrives.”

там же и знаменитый gin gimlet, так полюбившийся Рэймонду Чандлеру:

Raymond Chandler didn’t include the gimlet in his first draft of the novel [“The Long Goodbye”]. However, after a trip to London, he fell in love with the drink and wrote it in. The novel’s popularity caused the cocktail to blow up in the United States. Now it’s the drink most associated with this infamous alcoholic writer.

а так же mint julep:

While the mint julep is most often associated with Southern writers, like William Faulkner (bars would often let him make his own), the drink first gained national popularity after its inclusion in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel [“The Great Gatsby”].
