Fall isn't officially here yet, but it has arrived in our household! Last night I created my first new fall-themed cocktails of the season, and we watched Halloween. And even though it's going to be sunny and 80 today I'm still burning my Bath & Body Works Leaves candle as I get ready for my friend Silvi's wedding!
The Crisp Autumn Night is the perfect drink to sip on your patio on... you guessed it... a Crisp Autumn Night (see what I did there?) This cocktail is a combination of vodka, fresh basil, lemon juice, apple cider and splash of club soda. Garnish it with a slice of a honeycrisp apple and a basil leaf.
Serve this cocktail up in a martini glass or down on the rocks. Enjoy & cheers to fall!
