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 Pino 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.
