Fall is in the air and with it comes everything apple and pumpkin. You know it by the endcaps of the grocery stores: applesauce, apple cereal, apple and pumpkin pie mix, pumpkin hand soap and even pumpkin aftershave (yes, it’s a thing, I checked).
Now, if you’re not in the mood for the basic PSL (aka pumpkin spiced latte for autumn amateurs), we found some delicious cocktail recipes that will get you into a fall mood.
Apple/Anise — Marcelino's Boutique Bar
Escape the brisk fall air as you mentally check out on a Mediterranean vacation with every sip.
From the newest cocktail bar in the capital city, the Apple/Anise cocktail from Marcelino's Boutique Bar represents the sweet side of autumn. Medium-strong and well balanced, this drink features Maison Rouge VS Cognac, apple brandy, house-fermented apple, honey, lemon, prosecco and arak — a traditional Lebanese spirit made from distilled grapes and anise.
Sweater Weather — Blu Violet Roof Bar
If you're looking for your cocktail to be served up with a side of style, Blu Violet at the Aloft Providence Downtown has you covered. Their fall cocktail menu includes the Sweater Weather, a play on the classic Old-Fashioned made with Taconic Double Barrel Maple Bourbon, bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, bitters and muddled orange. And it's the perfect drink to sip while wearing your favorite cardigan on the roof.
