Fall Cocktails

As we wind down summer, I start to feel my spirit lift.  Fall is my season.  I love everything about it.  Pumpkins.  Scarves.  Boots.  Apples.  Cocktails.

Last week was the first football game of the fall season on tv.  Not a season game, but some sort of opener game.  You can tell I am well versed of the ins and outs of football season.

What I am well versed in is fall cocktails.  Football cocktails.  Tailgating cocktails.  Game day cocktails.  While I know some of you prefer to drink beer with football, beer makes me sleepy.  Cocktails make me happy.

Tennessee Whiskey

There is apparently a whole whiskey revolution going on.  It seems like new distilleries are popping up every where.  While I could have tried one of the newer whiskeys, I went with a classic.  It doesn’t get much more classic than Jack Daniels, especially since we live in Tennessee.

Apple Rosemary Whiskey Cocktail

This cocktail is so easy to make!

• First you make the rosemary simple syrup.
• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan and boil for 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add honey and rosemary sprigs and cool.
• In a large pitcher or jar, combine the rosemary simple syrup, apple juice, and whiskey.
• Serve in mason jars or your favorite cocktail glass and enjoy!

I found this recipe in an old 2015 issue of Donna Hay’s magazine.
