Pumpkin Pie-Chai Spiked Latte

Looking to deviate from your typical mug of mulled wine? This spiked latte offers a delicious twist on a fall staple and the perfect way to cozy up and unwind.

Ingredients:

• 6 oz. hot vanilla chai latte
• 1 ¼ oz. Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur
• 3 tbsp. whipped cream
• ½ tsp. cinnamon sugar

Directions:

1. Add Fulton's Harvest into a mug and fill with hot vanilla chai latte. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Whiskey Cider

 
The great part about this pairing? You can enjoy it hot or cold! Make a lowball cocktail with big chunks of clear ice or a hot spiked cider spiced with cinnamon and cloves. Either way, the smoky finish of whiskey complements the tartness of the apple cider perfectly.

Ingredients:

Lowball Whiskey Cider (Serves 1) 
• 3 oz. apple cider
• 1 ½ oz. whiskey (rye, blended Scotch, Tennessee, Canadian, Bourbon, or Fireball)
• Orange wheel
• Ice to serve (try clear ice!)

Hot Spiked Whiskey Cider (Serves 6)

Ingredients:

• 6 cups apple cider
• 1 cup whiskey
• ½ teaspoon whole cloves
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• Orange slices and whole cranberries to garnish

Directions:

1. For the Lowball: Combine and stir the apple cider and whiskey in a lowball glass. Add ice and garnish with an orange wheel.
2. For the Hot Cider: Combine the cloves, cinnamon sticks, and apple cider in a medium pot. Warm over low heat for 30 minutes. Skim any particulate that forms.
Stir in the whiskey. Ladle into mugs, garnish, and enjoy.

Maple Old Fashion

Love a good Old Fashioned? We’ve taken this classic and added a unique spin that is perfect for the season.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. (¼ cup) Bourbon whiskey

• Ice for serving (try clear ice!)

Directions:
1. In a lowball glass, stir the bourbon, maple syrup, and bitters. Add a large clear ice cube.

2. Use a knife to remove a 1″ wide strip of the orange peel. Squeeze the orange peel into the glass to release the oils. Gently run the peel around the edge of the glass, then place it in the glass. Garnish with a cherry.
