Delicious Cocktail Recipes For Fall

Can we really say “Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall?” It’s odd where I live, as the weather can’t seem to make up its mind as to what it wants to be. It seems as if Summer 2017 is holding on for all it’s worth! Truth be told, as much as I absolutely adore summertime, I love the change of seasons and fall is one of my favorites.

Drambuie, Icelandic Reyka Vodka, Montelobos Mezcal, Ancho Reyes, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, Hudson Whiskey, Monkey Shoulder Whisky and Q Drinks have some tasty cocktails for the upcoming crisp, cool day and I’ve scored them just for Pop Culture Shock readers!

Hudson Maple Old Fashioned
