Fall Cocktails - The Whiskey Roundup

Fall Cocktails

It's been about since it officially became fall, but in here in Texas it has been feeling more like summer
than fall. It's finally cooling off. That means that it's finally time to start adding some fall flavors to our cocktails!

Now, I know that this is primarily a whiskey blog, and that's probably what you're here for. There are so many fun ideas out there, that not only I have trouble limiting it to the four I typically include in the Whiskey Roundup, but I knew I had to include some non-whiskey cocktails too, if only to mix it up.

I love apples, and I like rum, and I can only imagine that these flavors would go together wonderfully. It also sounds super simple to make, with minimal tools and ingredients needed.

Pumpkin beers have been huge the last few years, so it only makes sense to incorporate a pumpkin beer in to a fall cocktail, especially with that spiced rum and butterscotch.

I had to include a White Russian in honor of The Dude. For those who may not know, this cocktail is made from vodka, Kahlua, and cream. Those flavors should compliment the addition of pumpkin really well!

I've made a few cocktails using ginger and lemon/lime and a few of them have included Maker's Mark. The pear liqueur sounds like an interesting addition.
