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.

Fancy Cowboy
By Jonathan M. Forester on Jun 30, 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 tasty drinks.
Fancy Cowboy created by Lydia Reismueller
2 oz Old Potrero whiskey
1/4 oz agave syrup
3 drops orange flower water
2 dashes orange bitters
2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
Candied flower
Stir all ingredients over ice, and strain into a chilled old fashioned glass with ice. Garnish with a candied flower.
