Perfect West West ("Rural Manhattan")
by Parish Hill Creamery

• 2 ounces Vermont rye or bourbon whiskey

• 1/2 ounce Boreas sweet vermouth

• 1/2 ounce Zephyr dry vermouth

• 2 dashes bitters

• preserved cherry

Serve up or over with a wedge of Parish Hill Creamery's West West or Jack's Blue.

Vermont Quarantine Quoffee
by Kate Wise, Juniper

• 1.5 oz Rectified Bourbon or Mad River Distillers Bourbon or Revolution Rye

• .5 oz maple syrup or 1.5 tsp maple sugar

• 4 oz Brio, Vivid, or Carrier Roasting coffee

Combine all ingredients in a mug. Top with hand shaken cream.

For the shaken cream:
Fill a 16 oz mason jar half way with heavy cream (Butterworks Farm cream works great!) and add 3 Tablespoons of maple syrup. Shake until it doubles in volume and the whip is thick but still pourable. If you over shake it, it’ll turn lumpy and weird.
