Drink of the Day: Paul Abercrombie's "Old Vermont"

We're continuing to celebrate our wonderful Earth with the best way we know how: cocktails. There's plenty of organic food to be found, but what about the drinks? Mixologist Paul Abercrombie penned the world's first organic cocktail book entitled Organic, Shaken and Stirred. Abercrombie recently showed us how to shake up some of these organic sippers and we just can't get enough!

One of our fave selections is the "Old Vermont", a refreshing gin-based drink with a sweet twist of Vermont maple. Abercrombie uses organic Bluecoat Gin and fresh, organic juices that give the drink a burst of citrus flavors. But it's the organic Urban Moonshine maple bitters and a dash of real maple syrup that send us right to a cabin in the Northeast.
Technique: Serve in a chilled martini glass.
