Apple Pickin' Punch

 

2 oz Goslings dark rum
1/2 oz Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps
1/4 oz St Elizabeth allspice dram
4 oz apple cider
1 tsp lemon juice

The taste of the autumnal equinox right there in the glass.

Apropos

 

1 oz gin
1 oz Aperol
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz orange juice
2 dashes orange bitters
Orange twist for garnish

Light on alcohol and just enough to whet your appetite.

Mon Ark

A riff on the drink called the Monarch - we replaced the lemon juice with grapefruit and left out the sugar.

2 oz Tanqueray gin
3/4 oz St. Germaine elderflower liqueur
1 oz grapefruit juice
4 mint leaves
Twist of lemon

Tear the mint leaves into a shaker and add the gin, liqueur and juice. Shake with ice and double strain into a cocktail glass. Add twist and mint leaf to garnish.

Optional: Add to Collins glass with ice and top off with club soda. The first went down too quickly we wanted the second one to last!
