A review by sjbozich
Bitter Drink by F.G. Haghenbeck

4.0

An amazon ebook only publication. Nice mix of booze, movies and tough guy. Set in Puerto Vallarta during John Huston's filming of "Night of the Iguana" w/ Burton and Taylor. Each of the 26 chapters in this slim, 170 pp "book" begins w/ a cocktail recipe, the history of the cocktail, and a song to go with it. Haghenbeck admits to being influenced by Chandler and Taibo.

Fun, quick read w/ a bit of Hollywood/film history, cocktails, and a touch of Tough Guy. Here's hoping amazon decides to translate and publich more of his work.
