"Lauren Clark takes readers on a supremely sudsy tour of New England ales, lagers, pilsners, and porters. This is the New England the Puritans warned everybody about, but few have chronicled."

Scott Holliday (invented at Chez Henri)
2 oz Barbancourt 8-year 5-Star Reserve Rhum
1/2 lime cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 tsp sugar (preferably turbinado)
3 strong dashes Angostura bitters
Muddle lime and sugar in a double old-fashioned glass. Fill with ice and add rhum. Shake hard to blend ingredients. Add bitters and stir before serving. The cocktail is Holliday’s “homage to a Haitian painter and poet who introduced me to Rhum Barbancourt back in the day when it had to be hand carried back from Haiti. She made a very traditional daiquiri-like drink that just blew me away in its simplicity and perfection.”
