Cocktail Recipe: VT meets BIM New Fashioned

My partner Tony is a person of many talents; one being an amazing mixologist.  This is a little recipe he concocted the other day that I had to share!  We came up with two names for this drink and couldn't decide on which one to officially call it:
  • VT Meets BIM New Fashioned
  • Canna Maple BIM Cooler
What name would you choose? Any recommendations?  (comment below)

Tony and I currently live in Vermont and have for 13 years now.  My family is from Barbados and Bajans affectionately call our home island BIM.  One of my favorite drinks is an Old Fashioned.  So Tony made this variation of an old fashioned with an exquisite rum made in Barbados at a distillery we had a chance to visit called St. Nicholas Abbey, local Vermont maple syrup and my very own Whole Heart CBD Rose Bitters.  

{Fun fact: Did you know that Barbados invented rum?} 

I N G R E D I E N T S
2.5 ounces of St. Nicholas Abbey Rum
Dash of CBD Bitters
Splash of Club Soda
Squeeze of Fresh Lemon 
Splash of VT Maple Syrup
Pinch of Raw Sugar
Ice
Optional Orange Rind and/or Maraschino Cherry

In your mixing container add your raw sugar, maple and squeeze of lemon juice to the bottom and quickly mix by mashing with a pestle. Add the St. Nicholas Abbey Rum, splash of club soda, dash of CBD bitters and ice; then cover and shake until well blended.  Pour into a glass with ice and feel free to garnish with an orange rind or maraschino cherry.

Enjoy!

I just love trying new cocktails when I travel, although I try to make them at home, it's not easy to replicate the taste, but still, I try following the recipe. By the way, thanks for this recipe. Trying this weekend.
