Corner of Vermont lemonade with maple syrup: Corner of Vermont is a small shop in Brooklyn selling Vermont maple syrup and other specialty items as well as maple-syrup enhanced dishes including hot dogs and ice cream. I ordered their lemonade with maple syrup and found it to be a perfectly balanced drink. The acidity level was very nicely paired with a mild sweetness from the maple syrup, which, despite my concerns, did not overwhelm. Served cold, it is an entirely satisfying summer drink. 4.5/5.0

L'Albero dei gelati blackberry and peach gelato: Refreshing fruit-flavored gelato served from a small storefront facing the street (no indoor seating). The seeds throughout the blackberry gelato added good texture, but I preferred the peach flavor overall for its light sweetness. Texture was not the smoothest, but certainly not bad. 3.5/5.0

Vermont Switchel Company Switchel: an invigorating, unique blend of maple syrup, lemon, ginger, apple cider vinegar, and molasses. A great option for those who don't want an overly sweet beverage. Perfect accompaniment to a meaty sandwich. Would be even more awesome if it were carbonated! 4.0/5.0

Poland Spring raspberry lime sparkling water: Surprisingly good mainstream drink. Very clear fruit and citrus flavor that doesn't leave a salty aftertaste like a lot of seltzer. Affordable and widely available. Highly recommended. 4.0/5.0

Bruce Cost blood orange and Meyer lemon ginger ale: I'm a fan of the regular Bruce Cost ginger ale, so I was happy to find a limited edition citrus version. Despite shaking the bottle beforehand, I found the flavor to be weak on the top but much more potent on the bottom. The citrus flavor was nonetheless refreshing, and the ginger left a pleasant tingly feeling in my throat. That's when you know it's good. 3.5/5.0
