Annual Forum Best Sip recipes 2022
August 10, 2022
It's a VFN Forum tradition to for ticket holders to vote on the "Best Sip" of the evening and the competition was big! It was a close vote, but Kate Wise of Hotel Vermont garnered the top prize with her "Rhubie 44," a refreshing pink summer cocktail made with a a favorite early summer ingredient - rhubarb! We must give an honorable mention to Mimi Buttenheim of Mad River Distillers for the close second choice, "Blueberry Mojito," a very Vermont twist on a classic summer drink. They are so good, we wanted to share the recipes with you!
