Forgot to post this cocktail from a couple weeks back that we drank on our anniversary. This cocktail from @wandpdesign‘s Shake book was the cocktail we served at our wedding! Recently listened to an episode on maple syrup from one of my favorite podcasts, Gastropod. If you love food + drinks and the science + history behind them, you should definitely take a listen.
