When you think of autumn, you probably think of coloured leaves, wind and rain and walks in the forest in the crisp air. However, we think about challenging autumn flavours, classics with notes of caramel and the perfect cocktails for tempestuous weather. These are our four specially selected autumn cocktails!

 

 

Autumn cocktail 1: Apple Pie Mojito

The name already says it: the Apple Pie Mojito is the apple pie amongst the cocktails. A nice touch if you want to switch it up at tea time!

Ingredients (for 4 cocktails):

Vodka caramel 120 ml • apple juice with pulp 120 ml • 16 lime wedges • 16 mint leaves • 1 apple • cinnamon powder • crushed ice

 

Preparation:

1. Cut the lime into four wedges. Add the wedges and the mint leaves to a sturdy glass and muddle. 
2. Add the caramel vodka and fill up the glass with crushed ice.
3. Top it off with apple juice and stir well. The lemon wedges and mint leaves should not be at the bottom.
4. Use four apple slices to make an apple wafer and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
