It’s summer cocktail season, so, of course, we’re here to highlight a must-have summer drink. We’re revisiting our old friends at Sauvage Distillery, the renowned producer of Upstate Vodka, a premium vodka made from locally sourced apples. If you remember, this distillery takes pride in using locally sourced apples from nearby farms in Schoharie County, NY,  highlighting the region’s rich agricultural heritage. Upstate Vodka has gained recognition and acclaim, having received numerous awards for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship, so it was a no-brainer to look to them for a great summer cocktail.
