Get the best recipes for fall cocktails! Whether you like vodka or whiskey, hot or cold beverages – you’ll find something delicious here.
One of my favorite times for cocktails is fall. I have a little bit of an idea why. I like the liquors and flavors associated with autumn – warm whiskies and toasted marshmallow. And of course I like pumpkin. Pumpkin bread is actually my favorite dessert of all time.
This might sound funny, but I prefer drinks when it’s cooler than when it’s warmer. A cocktail isn’t as refreshing to me unless the weather is cool outside.
Plus I like the “ambiance” of a fire pit. Of sitting in a camp chair in a fleece jacket and hat listening to the crackle of the wood.
Do you like the picture I’m painting for you?
Me too. It feels so cozy!
