As the seasons change, it's time to switch out the lemony flavors of summer for the cozy tastes of fall. Apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice and tart cranberries are the flavors of the season and between your own homemade drinks and the produced ciders, fall malted beverages and beers, there is plenty to choose from when it comes to getting hygge with your drinks, a warm fire and your favorite company.
We often lament how pricey drinks at restaurants can be, but they are sooo good. Why are they better than the drinks we make at home? Sure, they are often made with premium ingredients, but sometimes it's just a matter of the garnish. If you take the time to dress up your drink, you might be surprised at how good it tastes, even when it's made at home!
From limoncello to summer shandy, it is the season of the lemon! The season's almost gone, and while you can pretty much get limoncello year-round, if you are enjoying fresh lemony cocktails, now is the time to make your favorites before fall descends. Don't have a favorite yet? Try any one of these!
One of my best friends is having us over for a barbecue on Friday and I'd like to bring something to drink that's fun but affordable AND portable. I do enjoy making punch (spiked or otherwise) but I always do the sherbert punch that's quite messy and not at all portable. You can pack the ingredients and put it together at the event itself, but it just takes so much longer. I'd like to keep cleanup to a minimum!
Rum grog. Is there nothing more warming and comforting on a winter's night? Winter seems pretty far away at the moment, but rum can be enjoyed every season. Its sugary base makes it one of the tastiest and most popular alcohols. If summertime peaches are your thing, a Fuzzy Sunset, which features peaches and cream, may be the perfect way to relax this afternoon. A Malibu Bay Breeze is the perfect summery rum drink for pineapple lovers, and Rum Punch is always a classic for parties.
