Fall Old Fashioned:

One of the oldest original cocktails, consisting of bourbon, bitters and sugar. We kick it up with pumpkin and maple flavors to make it perfect for fall.

Autumn Last Word:

A popular pre-prohibition era drink that almost disappeared from history, but has made a massive comeback to the most recent cocktail revival. A drink that usually consists of Gin, Green Chartreuse, Luxardo Liqueur and Lime Juice, we’ve altered a few ingredients and added notes of vanilla and cinnamon to make it more seasonal.
