It’s Fall Y’all – Fun Cocktails for the Season!

Pumpkin, spice and all things nice. It’s what we basic witches love best, aimright?! I am not too proud to admit that I am a total sucker for all things fall. Pumpkins, apple picking, bats, ghost, goblins, haunted houses and more.

Since today is the first day of Fall, I decided to whip up some fun fall cocktails to celebrate the start of my favorite season. All of them feature Buckeye Vodka and apple cider…. I mean, do I need to say more?!?

Enjoy these seasonal adult beverages on a chilly night or right after a long day picking apples with little ones.

Let me know if you try them this weekend!
