Bourbon or rye old fashioned sweetened with Vermont maple syrup in place of simple syrup; finished with an orange peel and a maple-soaked bing cherry.

Local distilleries (Mad River, Smugglers' Notch, Whistlepig in Shoreham) and bartenders folded maple into the canonical American cocktail through the 2000s; the Vermont Maple Old Fashioned is now the default cocktail on Burlington bar menus that lean into local product. The Whiskey Room and Juniper at Hotel Vermont both run versions.
