Two friends recently gave me jugs of maple syrup, so I thought I'd look up a few different things to do with it.
Cocktails!
I found one that used all ingredients I have on hand, so decided to try an Old Vermont Cocktail tonight.
Great!
You can't taste any of the individual ingredients - it's a perfect blend of all of them.
I used Grade B syrup, so mine was darker than Bobby Flay's.
