People in Providence – 12.17

Jean Mark Schweitzer | Downtown Providence 

Where are you going?

I’m actually heading home— or I’m heading to my wife’s work to pick up keys from her, and then I’m going home.

Where are you coming from?

Work. Right over here— Clementine Cocktail Bar. I’m the manager.

Do you recommend the cocktail bar?

Of course, yeah.

What’s your favorite drink to make?

Right this second is probably the Betty Schweitzer. On paper, it’s essentially an old-fashioned but there’s a lot of sort of back house prep that goes into it. It’s just a really nice, warm, sort of wintery fall cocktail—very caramely, you know, very warming. I named it after my grandma because it uses Jamison, Irish whiskey, and we infused it with oats and black tea. These are all things that grandma—well, besides the Jamison—these are all things that grandma enjoyed. She probably liked whiskey too. But who knows.
