Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New England at Linden Place Mansion
Colonial New England was awash in ales, beers, wines, cider and spirits. Everyone from teenage farmworkers to our founding fathers imbibed heartily and often. This cocktail culture reflected the New World's abundance of raw materials: apples, sugar and molasses, wild berries and hops.
