The Maple Blossom is a refreshing summer cocktail by Jamie Monteiro, the head bartender at Mama’s VT [1] in Ludlow.
Jamie said her inspiration for the drink came from, “Springtime in Vermont. Flowing maple lines, the excitement of first blossoms and the rebirth of floral aromas.”
Using Gin, grapefruit juice and Runamok’s Jasmine Infused Maple, this seems to us the perfect lakeside drink.
