Ernest Hemingway famously liked his liqueur, and William Faulkner seldom met a bottle of whiskey he didn’t like. But they weren’t the only ones.

Truman Capote called screwdrivers his “orange drink,” J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis would often grab beers together at a local pub and talk about their books, and Jane Austen would write letters to her sister about the luxury of drinking a fine French wine.

We put together a list of 14 authors and their favorite drinks, from absinthe to a gin and tonic. We even included a French author who might have been the biggest coffee addict of all time — and showed for it by publishing more than 50 books in his lifetime.
