From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails

Another turning of the seasons is upon us and if you're like me, you are beginning to crave some of the tastes of fall. I'm one of those that is in love with autumn and the drinks that the season brings us are the best of both worlds: you get the garden-fresh produce, warming flavors, those comforting hot drinks start to sound really good (without all the snow), and it's still not too cold to mix up something light and refreshing. This week we're gently working our way into those autumn tastes with some of my favorite drinks of the season.

 

Not to forget my readers in the Southern Hemisphere... Welcome to spring! Here are some drinks you may be interested in: Spring Cocktail Recipe Collection.

Cocktail of the Week: Homecoming Caipirinha
Homecoming Caipirinha

The Caipirinha is one of the best summer drinks and it is a great template for creating more cocktails. This Homecoming Caipirinha is a fine example and brings in the flavors of the season with style. As with it's predecessor, you will need a muddler and some cachaca to pull this off, but you can forget the lime. This recipe goes with fresh apple, lemon and sage, organic apple juice, and cinnamon agave nectar. It is spectacular.  Get the recipe...

There are weird cocktails that I would never think of drinking and then there are those that sound odd at first, but end up being fantastic new experiences that I enjoy over and over again. This new collection of recipes includes ten of those drinks that I've found to be puzzling on paper and really good in the glass. They include ingredients and flavor combos that are anything but ordinary in our liquid world and they are a lot of fun to explore. You may not like all of them, but at least you can say you tried.
