NOTES
Ernest Hemingway created this hangover remedy, although there is a bit of speculation as to the exact time and place. come attribute it to the Hotel Ritz in London, in 1922, others to a drink of his dated later, from 1937 in Key West. Hemingway's preference was for the more intensely pungent Holland gin, but a good-quality London dry gin is equally suitable.
