Sweetie Pie

By Jonathan M. Forester on Jun 25, 2009 | In Cocktail Revolution, Cocktail Hour (Recipes)

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.)
