What are some Fiction books that make references to any cocktails or drinks?

Like in certain books for example, it goes into great detail on what the author or other characters were drinking, so on and so forth? Anyone remember any passages of any kind of book where it does this?

I can't recall any passages, (seeing as I didn't much like the book), but The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway has loads of drinking in it, throughout the book. There's also quite a bit in The Great Gatsby- you're sure to find something no problem there, there's usually a paragraph or so every so often about a large party. It takes place around the Prohibition as well.





Other than that...I can't think of any off the top of my head. Good luck.
Reply:It's not really fiction, but 'Dry' by Augusten Burroughs is a good book about his addiction with alcoholism. It's a memoir.
Reply:A lot of the old Detective Noir fiction books ... Dashiell Hammett had some great quotes about Martinis. Then dont forget James Bond ... And Peter Benchley had a great line - "How about getting out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?" Pax - C
