Mixed Drinks For Autumn:

overwhelming inner warming effect that reminds you of homemade apple
pie.

cream and a dash of triple sec.
Dusk Of Eden Martini
This cocktail combines the flavors of fresh pomegranate and apple juice
(fresh is best of course) to create one great, unique drink.
Hot Peppermint Patty
There is nothing better than spiked hot chocolate. Both peppermint
schnapps and crème de menthe add that minty snap to this intensely
chocolate warm drink.
Tezón Caramel Apple Pie
With tequila, butterschotch schnapps, apple cider and lemon juice, this
martini is a great tasting fall drink.
Herradura Calabatini
The Calabatini is an excellent tequila-based Pumpkin Martini. The name is

autumnal dessert drink.

This drink is easy and quick to make. Just mix whiskey, apple cider and some
fresh cinnamon.

Drop.

will impress your friends.
