View source for New Englander (cocktail)

The '''New Englander''' is a [[cocktail]] made from two to three parts [[Moxie]] to one part gin. The name derives from Moxie's regional popularity in parts of [[New England]]. Some people also detect a slight resemblance in taste to [[Necco]] wafers, another regional product.<ref name= "Moxie">{{cite news |last=Burnham |first=Emily |url= https://bangordailynews.com/2015/02/10/living/food/it-makes-mainers-mighty-6-moxie-cocktails-to-mix-up-this-winter/ |title=It makes Mainers mighty: 6 Moxie cocktails to mix up this winter |work=[[Bangor Daily News]] |date=February 10, 2015 |accessdate=August 4, 2019}}</ref>

==Recipe==
1 part [[Gordon's Gin]] <br />
2-3 parts Moxie<br />
a large slice of lime<br />
a dash of [[Worcestershire sauce]]<br />

The Worcestershire sauce cuts the drink's sweetness. While some prefer to leave it out, purists argue that a New Englander is incomplete without it.  However, in Western Massachusetts, it is frequently left out - this version is called a "Felix".
