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.
Which whiskey to use?
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.
Instructions
This cocktail is so easy to make!
