Harmonious Outdoor Drinking
‘Whiskito’ Becomes Club’s Official Cocktail Modifier
If naturism really means “connecting with nature” — feeling the sun and the breeze on bare skin and the sand between the toes — it also means being susceptible to the bugs that love to bite, sometimes in places that are embarrassing to scratch. New Hampshire is known for its black flies and voracious mosquitos, and they are not at all concerned about whether someone is naked or dressed, as long as they can score a successful meal.
Steven Grasse, founder of Tamworth Distilling, is well-aware of the problem. “Anyone from rural New Hampshire knows that bug season, which happens from May to mid-July, is no joke,” he said. “We have mosquitoes and black flies the size of pterodactyls. At Tamworth Distilling, we draw inspiration from the land around us, and Skeeter’s is no exception.”
He is referring to Skeeter’s Nootkatone Flavored Whiskey, which he describes as being “designed for bug-free summer cocktails” — and it has become the “Official Cocktail Modifier of Naturist New Hampshire”.
