Churchill's Drinking Habits ...

...from Interview with Susan Elia MacNeal, author of “Mr. Churchill’s Secretary”- click here to view full interview.

What did Winston Churchill drink?

Susan Elia: Along with smoking Romero y Julietta cigars, Winston Churchill was known for always having a tumbler of Scotch and water at hand. However, many sources say it was more water than Scotch. His children called it the “Papa Cocktail” and said it was a splash of Johnnie Walker covering the bottom of a tumbler, which was then filled with water and slowly sipped throughout a morning or afternoon. He says (in My Early Life) observation that he learned the Scotch-and-water habit as a young man in India and South Africa where the water was unfit to drink and, “by dint of careful application I learned to like it.” His private secretary and right-hand-man Jock Colville said that Churchill’s “Papa Cocktail” was more like mouthwash than a real drink.

What else did he drink?

What else didn’t he drink? Churchill was known to have a glass of hock (a kind of wine) with breakfast. There was the Scotch and water, as mentioned. He drank different wines with lunch. With dinner, for example, it was not unusual for him to start with a dry Martini (Plymouth gin “with a bow towards France”). And then he would move on to wines with each course, Bordeaux being a favorite, Champagne (preferably Pol Roger), and then finish up with port or brandy. Dinner with Churchill by Cita Stelzer is a fantastic account of, among many other things, his eating and drinking habits.

Churchill (the UKs PM in the 50s, not the talking dog on the car ads) was known for having a cheeky glass of Hock with his breakfast in the morning.

...Before the Martinis, Champagne, Claret and Scotch & Waters started to flow throughout his days.
