The Autumn Leaves Cocktail

The Autumn Leaves pairs well with dark chocolate, dried fruit and mixed nuts. Perfect for a pre-holiday gathering.

For this drink, I was inspired by those pre-Thanksgiving gatherings – when people get together the night before, or the week of, to reconnect, reminisce, and fall back in love, maybe.

I focused on flavors that remind us of holiday spices and warm hugs we get from old friends, people we hadn’t seen in a while. It could be former lovers that maybe cause a stir by reconnecting after two or more of these. Or a fight between former rivals that never got over their competing ways. Or a loving embrace between two old friends that had lost touch over the years. Either way, blame it on this tasty late autumn cocktail.
