Welcome to Drinking the World; my thoughts on fine libations, special spirits, and fabulous cocktails. My name is Jonathan M. Forester and I'm a food & beverage writer / consultant. Formerly partner in Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery from 2007-2009. I'm also in the process of starting up an artisanal, micro-batch distillery specializing in super premium spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskey, peach, pear, and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, and gin. The style will be American from the Gilded Age, the last 25 years of the 19th century.
I am going to add to this site as quickly as I can, but I am a bit pressed for time. I have around 200+ pieces already written to post here, as well as hundreds of cocktail recipes. As time permits I will add them to the archives.
If the post is dated prior to December 13, 2008, it was previously published at Slashfood.com / AOL.com.

The Peanut Cracker created by Junior Merino - The Liquid Chef
2 oz Castries Peanut Liqueur
1 oz Dewars 12
½ oz Butterscotch Liqueur
garnish with currants
Pour all the ingredients in a mixing glass, shake, and strain into a special glass.
Junior says: "The name of the cocktail was inspired by The Nutcracker as it was created for the holiday season. Easy to make, so most places that carry the Castries Peanut Liqueur, will be able to make it." (Or you can track down the Castries Peanut Liqueur and make it at home. -JMF-)
