With the autumn season in full swing, entertaining has moved indoors at The Farm. The menus are becoming cozier, and the drinks are laced with spices for a little fall flair. Whether you are throwing a large dinner party or a small cocktail gathering, drinks can make or break your get-together. I love to have a few signature drinks for my gatherings, ones that I make sure to have plenty of ingredients on hand, and can post the recipe by the bar so people can mix them on their own!
Watch how to make these three fall cocktails.
These drinks are not overly complicated but exude the essence of the season’s flavors to create refreshing drinks. Use them for a party and enjoy them on your own all season long!
