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, and formerly partner in a winery and brewery in Maine. Now, my new partner and I are currently in the process of starting an artisanal, farm distillery located on 370 acres in New York State called Dutch's Spirits. We will be specializing in premium, hand-made spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and malt whiskey, peach and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, gin, liqueurs, and cocktail bitters.

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-)
