Like the cherry blossoms that decorate walkways from Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, new spring cocktails are scattered everywhere along The Trail as they usher in the spirit of the season.
There are plenty of sights to see and sips to take. Visit George Washington’s Mount Vernon in full bloom and grab a bottle of Rye Whiskey to wash down with the warm breeze. Crack open a refreshing canned cocktail from Sagamore Spirits, or fill the cooler and share with friends. Take in the tastes of spring as distilleries open their outdoor patios and introduce their newest spring cocktail recipes, all fruity, flowery, and refreshing.
