From pecans to cinnamon spice, fall flavors pair perfectly with many beers and liquors. Try these fall themed drinks to warm your belly this season!
Apples – Everyone knows the best time to go apple picking is fall, and you may as well add those apples to every dish and beverage as possible! This autumn, try making an Apple Crisp drink. It’s highly versatile and can be made with a variety of measurements depending on your personal tastes. All you need is some apple juice, vodka, spiced whiskey and maple syrup. How about them apples?
