  • About

This cocktail honors Vermont’s rich maple-syrup heritage, a key part of the state’s identity since Indigenous peoples first tapped sugar maples centuries ago. A bright twist on the classic gimlet, it blends gin, citrus, bitters, and real maple syrup, balancing acidity with sweetness to celebrate Vermont’s tradition of artisanal craft and flavor.
