When I think of Autumn, I envision falling leaves, chillier temps, and apple orchards. Set aside the rosé, pick up some fresh-pressed cider and a few seasonal ingredients, and enjoy the taste of Fall. As you cozy up to a warm fireplace or get together around a fire pit, think of these simple cider cocktail recipes– with vodka or tequila options. Cheers!
