“Maple Through the Seasons”

Ready to explore more than a drizzle of Maple in your Gin Martini?

1. Sparkling Maple Aperitivo (Spring Awakening)

  • Base: Aperol + splash of dry Prosecco or Cava
  • Sweetener: Original Artisanal Maple Syrup
  • Bitters: Dash of our Maple Craft Cocktail Bitters (Angostura for a reasonable substitution)
  • Garnish: Dehydrated orange wheel + light half rim dusting of crushed Gourmet Maple Granola

✨ A sparkling sunrise in a glass — crisp, bright, and kissed with maple. The granola rim surprises the palate, like wildflowers waking after winter frost.

2. Maple Sour (Summer Orchard)

  • Base: Ontario Craft Whisky
  • Sweetener: Original Artisanal Maple Syrup
  • Citrus: Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Body: Coldwater Farm Wyandotte egg white for the froth
  • Finish: Maple Bitters dashed across the foam

✨ Silky clouds and orchard breeze — whisky warmth meets lemon brightness, topped with a farm-fresh froth that feels alive with the season.

3. Coldwater Maple Old Fashioned (Autumn Fireside)

  • Base: Ontario Craft Whisky
  • Sweetener: Oak Toasted Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup
  • Bitters: Maple Craft Cocktail Bitters
  • Garnish: Orange peel + maple-smoked cherry

✨ A chair pulled close to the hearth — oak, smoke, and orange flame flicker through this timeless glass. A sip slow enough to savor falling leaves.

4. Smoked Maple Negroni (Frost on the Leaves)

  • Base: Craft Ontario Gin, Campari, sweet vermouth
  • Sweetener: Original Artisanal Maple Syrup
  • Bitters: Maple Craft Cocktail Bitters
  • Finish: Served under a dome of maple wood smoke for a flourish.

✨ Sharp wind, red leaves, and forest fire embers — bitter and bold, softened by maple’s dark embrace. The smoke carries the memory of sugaring fires.

5. Maple Espresso Martini Flip (Winter Nightcap)

  • Base: Dark rum, Neutral Grain Barley Spirit (Vodka) + locally roasted espresso
  • Sweetener: Oak Toasted Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup
  • Body: Whole Coldwater Farm Wyandotte egg
  • Finish: Light sprinkle of crushed Gourmet Maple Granola + nutmeg on top

✨ Midnight velvet — deep rum and roasted coffee stirred into a silken maple cover. Topped with granola crunch, it’s brunch and dessert, winter and warmth, all at once.
