Fall can enter in an instant. One moment, you’re relaxing on the beach in flip-flops; the next, you’re reaching for scarves and sweaters and crunching through fallen leaves. But more importantly, you’re also reaching for the bourbon and aged rum, and that’s something we can totally get on board with.
We tapped our DrinkWire contributors to see what fall cocktails they cherish. These are five recipes worth saving.
It wouldn’t be fall without a pumpkin cocktail. Most drinks that use the popular fall squash can be cloyingly sweet and overbearing, so look for a balance of flavors like you find in the Bibbity Bobbity Boo. If you’re feeling indulgent, you can always add fresh whipped cream as an extra garnish.
