A Bit of Fall Fun: Cocktails to Inspire a Night Out BY JENNIFER C. SCHÜNEMANN
O
Our local restaurants understand that chilly nights and quarantine can be a sad combination. So we’ve asked them to share some inspirational cocktails to warm up those ‘pre-winter blues.’ While these libations are certainly delicious to enjoy at home – you may want to venture out to try one in person. Cheers! 380 THOREAU That chill in the air is no match for El Camino – a delightful blend of mezcal, rye whiskey, Benedictine, and Peychaud’s bitters. A distant relative of the Manhattan, the mezcal adds some nice smoke while the Benedictine and Peychaud’s add depth and balance with their herbal and spice notes.
ADELITA4 Need a bit of extra vitamin C to ward off those early sunsets? The Smokey Apricot features cinnamon infused mezcal, organic apricot puree, triple sec, fresh squeezed organic lime juice, and organic agave nectar.
