* The Montgomery cocktail is a [[Martini (cocktail)|martini]] mixed at a ratio of 15 parts gin to 1 part vermouth, and popular with [[Ernest Hemingway]] at [[Harry's Bar (Venice)|Harry's Bar]] in Venice.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=New York Magazine|author=John Taylor|title=The Trouble With Harry's|date=19 October 1987|page=64 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ouMCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA64 }}</ref> The drink was facetiously named for Montgomery's supposed refusal to go into battle unless his numerical advantage was at least fifteen to one, and it appeared in Hemingway's 1950 novel ''[[Across the River and into the Trees]]''. Ironically, following severe internal injuries received in the First World War, Montgomery himself could neither smoke nor drink.<ref name="Lanning">{{Cite book|title=The Military 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Leaders of All Time|author=Michael Lee Lanning, James F.
