Mitsitam Cafe, National Museum of the American Indian

Ernest Hemingway—writer, outdoorsman, adventurer—was a man of enormous appetites. His fiction, filled with larger-than-life experiences, reflected the way he lived his life. This evening, savor a slice of Papa’s life by sampling some of the drinks that Hemingway and his fictional characters enjoyed—from a Jack Rose to a Death in the Afternoon cocktail—while hearing excerpts from his novels and anecdotes about his life and times. You’ll be introduced to Hemingway’s world, from his days in 1920s Paris to his years in KeyWest and Cuba, his work as a war correspondent, and other experiences that Hemingway distilled into his short stories and novels.

Phil Greene is an attorney, author, historian, and one of the founders of the Museum of the American Cocktail.

It's made by monks that mostly don't talk. It tips the scales at 110 proof... People who deal in green thought it was so green that they named a green after it... It's the kind of green you want to be seen with.Yet the weirdest thing about Chartreuse is one of the weirder things about New Orleans: it seems that behind every New Orleans bar lurks a bottle of the stuff. But once you've captured it what do you do with it?

Join acclaimed bartender and author John Myers as we explore what goes--and doesn't go--with Chartreuse. Your socks may come off or you might see God: anything can happen when we mix with Chartreuse!
