Seasons in Vermontini

We had a little January thaw last week. The temps reached 54 degrees and hung out there for a couple of days- just crazy weather for Vermont in winter.  The squirrels ventured out of their dens and partied in our backyard like it was a beach vacation, hanging out on the patio furniture and stuffing their cheeks with acorns they dug up from the newly softened ground.  Apparently, even the sap ran for a few days! A little taste of things to come in just a few short weeks.  But for now, the temps are back to a more reasonable 25 degrees, so I believe it’s time to offer a new cocktail to help us stay warm and hygge as we hunker down for the remainder of winter. Here’s a twist on a pear martini, using a couple of my favorite VT things- Vermont Gold Vodka from Vermont Spirits and Runamok Vermont Maple Syrup!
