Sangria: What an Easy Fall Cocktail

Sangria is always a hit, no matter the season and very easy to make. With a few subtle changes to the summer sangria you have been enjoying, you can tailor your Sangria to the fall tastes. 

Apple Cider Sangria

• 1 Bottle Pinot Grigio
• 2 ½ cups Fresh Apple Cider
• ½ cup Ginger Brandy
• 1 cup Club Soda
• 3 Apples (chopped small)
• 3 Pears (chopped small)
• Dash of cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and chill before serving.

Smooth Bourbon is a Fall Favorite

One thing I enjoy about bourbon is the warm smooth taste as it goes down. It is especially nice in the fall and winter. 

This recipe combines a mellow bourbon with pure maple syrup for a beautiful combination that is definitely pleasing to the palate. 

Maple Old Fashioned

• 2 oz Bourbon (Basil Hayden)
• 1 tsp Pure Maple Syrup
• 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
• 1 tsp Water
• Orange Peel to Garnish

Mix ingredients until syrup is fully dissolved. Add 1 large cube of ice and orange peel to garnish. 

Martini No Vermouth

I have never been a fan of the Dirty Martini. Probably because I don’t like Vermouth or olives!

I prefer my Martini’s sweet and this recipe is just that! The bonus for this one is caramel is one of my personal favorite sweet indulgences.

Caramel Apple Martini

• 1 oz Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka
• 1 oz Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka
• 2 oz Fresh Apple Cider
• 1 oz Dekuyper Sour Apple Scnapps Liqueur
• Carmel Syrup
• Apple Slice

Rim your martini glass with Carmel (set aside). Combine Salted Carmel vodka, Vanilla vodka,  apple cider, and apple schnapps in a shaker with ice. Pour mixture into prepared glass. Garnish with an apple slice.
