Maple Orchard Boulevardier

Description: The Maple Orchard Boulevardier is a delightful twist on the classic Boulevardier, combining the comforting, rich flavors of autumn with the boldness of bourbon. This cocktail merges the essence of ripe apples, the sweetness of Vermont maple syrup, and the tartness of dried cranberries, all harmoniously balanced with the smoothness of bourbon and herbal undertones of vermouth. Perfect for those crisp fall evenings by the fire.
