Cabot Cheddar Shake is “a dehydrated cheese product made of the finest northeastern cheddar cheese,” says Paul “PK” Kim, a bartender at Cafe Marie-Jeanne. He’d never heard of the cheese powder before Jacob Huelster of Watershed challenged him to create a cocktail with it. “But I wanted to show respect to it, because I know it’s an ingredient that’s near and dear to Jacob’s heart,” he says.
He named his orange-tinted drink #NotMyPresident. “It has the essence of apple, a hint of sweetness, but it’s a savory cocktail,” he says. “I wanted to focus on the ingredient.”
