Hello, Fall! Yes, as usual, we flipped over the summer calendar days a bit too quickly. But, at least we have something beautiful to appreciate at the completion of the summer days- The fall! The end of September and October hold some of the most glorious days of the year- dry weather, bright colors, warm days, and filled with heavenly scents of fallen leaves and fireplaces. So, this Friday, as we enter autumn, I have a warm and sweet cocktail recipe to welcome the new season. This bourbon cocktail should be enjoyed with friends and while you cheer on your favorite football team this Sunday!
