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.

Thursday Drink Night (TDN) is an online discussion forum held on Thursday nights with mixologists and cocktail bloggers all over the world getting together to post recipes and talk cocktails. Each week a theme or base spirit is set and everyone is invited to come up with a cocktail recipe. Then everyone posts their recipe and tries out all the others. Every few weeks a bar is chosen to host the TDN and people show up from that region of the country to participate live, as well as online. TDN on June 4th was focused on using Bols Genever as the base spirit.
