Forbidden Apple Cocktail
This Forbidden Apple Cocktail for two is sinfully delicious, and so easy to drink. It’s a delightful autumn cocktail that combines the smoothness of vodka, the sweet crispness of apple juice, a hint of lemon juice, the warmth of cinnamon, and a touch of pure maple syrup. Although the first sips may taste deceptively juicy, be forewarned…this is a serious cocktail that will sneak up on you when you least expect it!
Black Sangria
This Black Sangria is both rich in color and in flavor! My fruity sangria recipe is made with bold red wine, brandy, agave nectar, pure juice, and enhanced with deeply colored fruit. For the perfect Halloween cocktail, just add a spooky cocktail pick as a fun garnish. But this sangria is so good, you’ll want to make it anytime of year!
Pumpkin Spice White Russian
Our Pumpkin Spice White Russian is a twist on the traditional White Russian Cocktail. Bringing autumn flavors into this classic dessert cocktail, we used three simple ingredients to create a deliciously sweet, coffee flavored libation that provides the perfect boozy finish to any autumn meal. Our version of the White Russian takes it up a notch by frothing the creamer and garnishing with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkling of pumpkin spice.
