A Vermont Valentine - the perfect cocktail for February

A little on the sweet side, this is best served small or maybe shared! The perfect cocktail for a sweet moment sometime this February. 

Mix together half a shot of Aperol (I prefer Aperol but Campari also works, or if you don't care for citrus liqueur try a berry liqueur such as Chambord or Whidbey), a glug of maple syrup, and the juice of half a lime.

Pour over ice, then top off with however much soda water you like. Garnish with a wedge of lime, a sprig of fresh mint, or maybe a chocolate covered strawberry?
