Tapping the Northeast Kingdom with

Deep Mountain Maple Syrup

Long before it ends up on your pancakes, maple syrup undergoes a major transformation – from sapling to Sunday morning delight. Though the sap-to-syrup process may be foreign to some, our friends at Deep Mountain have a true passion for woodland agriculture. Their pure, organic maple syrup comes from the Cantor family’s 100-year-old grove in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Like all of our partners, this family-owned business is rooted in tradition and prides itself on the use of eco-friendly resources. This short video takes a deeper look at the production of their craft and the poetic philosophy behind it.

New World Bloody with Chef TJ Steele

and Bartender Matt Botkin

To compliment TJ’s turkey tinga Matt decided to do a riff on the Bloody Maria using Vago Elote, a house favorite triple distilled mezcal with roasted black corn on the third distillation, rounding out the smoky flavor with an added toasted nuttiness and sweetness. The higher than average proof also balances perfectly with the heavy flavor of the tomato juice and other ingredients. Taken all together, the tomatoes, corn, agave paired with the turkey and the avocados in the turkey tinga make this a veritable New World feast!
