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.

Last Winter I told you about bartender Lydia Reismueller, since the Spring she and her chef boyfriend have been managing the Four Season Farm in Cape Rosier, Maine. I visit them every now and then and am treated to some fantastic cocktail creations. Here is one of those fine libations.
Sweetie Pie created by Lydia Reismueller
2 oz Clement Rhum VSOP
1-3/4 oz apple cider
1/4 oz St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
Pinch of salt
Salt and sugar dipped apple slice
Stir all ingredients over ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with apple slice on rim.
(One of many cocktails created by Lydia during her time at the fabulous cocktail bar PDT in NYC. When she left PDT in the summer of 2008 to help run an organic farm on the Blue Hill Peninsula in Down-East Maine, they changed the name to “Remember Maine” and had the drink on their cocktail menu, as well as an explanation of both names.)
