The Fallen Harvest Cocktail Recipe

  • I love getting our home ready for fall. We’ll set out pumpkins, rake leaves into giant piles, and break out the simmer pots filled with cinnamon and cloves. Once decorating is done and the kids are fast asleep, it’s nice to be rewarded with a festive cocktail. 

    Here’s my favorite fall harvest cocktail recipe, inspired by the harvest season, that’ll warm you up as the weather gets chillier.
