Three Seasonal Cocktails

Drizly offers up three can't-miss cocktails for fall

Posted

We love that the crisp, fall air is starting to come back. We also love cocktails (did you miss last month's cover story? Read all about PVD cocktail trends here). So in honor of our mutual love for autumn and alcohol, we asked the fine folks at Drizly – the to-your-door liquor store service that provides deliveries from Bottles Fine Wine in Providence – to share with us three of their favorite cocktail recipes for the season. 

The Capone
Perfect cocktail for a dinner party, or just a casual afternoon enjoying the crisp fall air

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. simple syrup
  • .5 oz balsamic vinegar
  • 3-4 large basil leaves (fresh)
  • 2 oz. bourbon or rye whiskey
  • Ginger Beer (we used Reed's ginger beer)
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes

Directions

  • Muddle simple syrup, balsamic, 2 leave of basil (slice basil first), and 2 chopped cherry tomatoes in a shaker base
  • Add ice to shaker base, shake vigorously for seconds and train into a low ball glass
  • Fill low ball glass with bourbon and top with ginger beer and fill with ice
  • Garnish with large basil leave and one slice of tomato


Boulevardier
Perfect for impressing friends with a fancy, yet easy to make cocktail

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. Campari
  • 1 oz. Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 1/4 oz. Rye or Bourbon Whiskey

Directions

  • In a mixing glass, pour all ingredients over ice
  • Stir for 5 seconds and strain over into a cocktail glass 
  • Serve with an orange peel garnish


East Coast Mechelada in the Can
Perfect for a Sunday Brunch or an early morning football tailgate!

  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon horseradish
  • 3-4 shakes of worcestershire or soy sauce
  • 4-5 shakes of tabasco

Beer Base

  • 1 ice cold tall boy Narragansett lager (crack it open and drink 1/4 - about 4 oz.)

Directions

  • A couple extra dashes of hot sauce
  • Give the cane a GENTLE swirl.
