Love Lately Fall Season Cocktail and Mocktail Edit

Tis' the season to be thinking about Fall and Winter gatherings, menu selections and of course ~ the cocktails and mocktails we will be cheering and toasting with in the months to come.  Lately been on the search for everything to style up home and tabletop for upcoming parties. Top of the list is glassware, new recipes and flavors and the always fun search for cocktail dresses.  Here are some we're lovin' lately.

RAISE YOUR COUPE

These mixed coupe glasses just launched this past week from Anthropologie Collaboration with Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste. Love the very long stems on these coupes.  So elegant. These definitely double as desserts glasses ~ ice cream, sorbet, mousse, fruit cup. So many possibilities and purposes for these coupes. These lacquer coupe glasses would be great for desserts as well. These Estelle colored glasses are a perfect color for cold coffee cocktails.  Have some friends on guest list that only do the mocktails and coffee. Want these drinks to be just as fancy and festive. Cold coffee, vanilla cold foam and couple candy coffee bean garnishes and "wa-la" ~ festive!

SIPS OF THE SEASON

Love making seasonal spirits!  Living in New England, Fall is a favorite season here in the Northeast.  Love to celebrate all the classic, traditional flavors.  So, going IN on the Caramel, Gingerbread, Maple, Apple. Sips of the Seasons is a great cocktail recipe book that is organized by seasons.  On the list for season gatherings is Autumn Sangria, Apple Cinnamon Margarita and Spiced Cranberry Sherry Cobbler. Committed to showing cranberries some love this season.  Apples seems to get all the glory, right?! Although, I do LOVE five apple cider concentrate.  I add a couple tablespoons to hot and iced chai tea.

STYLE IT UP WITH GARNISHES

In the summer, I loved using these lemon slices as garnishes on cocktails (& cupcakes!), but being that it's fall I'm going seasonal classics with pear and apple slices now. I would usually do the whole dehydration process myself, but I used these on cupcakes and loved them.  Sometimes, it's nice to have a shortcut.  If I'm using these, I always include some freshness to the garnishes, like mint, rosemary, basil.
