Autumn and Fall Cocktails to Enjoy
Apple Cider Margaritas
As the weather cools and the leaves start to turn, there’s nothing quite like an apple cider margarita! This sweet and tart cocktail is perfect for a chilly autumn evening. Start by combining tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, simple syrup and a splash of cranberry juice in a shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled, then strain into salt-rimmed glasses filled with more ice. Top off each glass with apple cider and you’re ready to enjoy!
Pumpkin Spice Martini
Give your martini game an upgrade this season with our pumpkin spice martini recipe. Begin by rimming your serving glasses with crushed graham crackers and set aside. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add vodka, white creme de cacao, butterscotch schnapps, Irish cream liqueur plus some canned pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie filling (for extra flavor!). Shake vigorously until cold before straining into prepared glasses – garnish each one with cinnamon sticks for added flair!
Mulled Wine Slushies
For something truly unique this fall why not try making mulled wine slushies? To begin simmer red wine along with chopped apples, oranges slices & spices such as star anise on low heat in a large saucepan. Once flavors have combined remove from heat and allow mixture to cool completely before pouring it into blender along few handfuls of fresh or frozen berries – blend on high speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated – pour final concoction into individual glasses & top off each one whipped cream if desired – cheers!
