Woodford Reserve Eclipse
For the first few weeks of fall when warmer summer temperatures still linger, a slightly tart and refreshing fall cocktail is what we crave. This recipe from Woodford Reserve combines juicy cranberry and raspberry flavors with their expertly crafted bourbon for an early fall cocktail that’s as boozy as it is refreshing. Sorghum adds just a touch of mild molasses-like sweetness, making this cocktail the perfect transitional beverage to take your taste buds from summer to fall.

Boozy Apple Cider
If you’re hosting friends and family for happy hour or looking for an easy-to-make batched fall cocktail, look no further than this creative Boozy Apple Cider recipe from our friends at Delish. This recipe uses actual hollowed-out apples as the glassware, which means 1) yes, you can eat the cup, and 2) cleanup just got a whole lot easier. Apple cider, cinnamon, and whiskey? Yes, please!
Boozy Apple Cider
Ingredients:
- 1 gallon apple cider
- 1 ½ cups cinnamon whiskey, such as Fireball
- ½ cup caramel
- 3 cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
- 8 fresh apples
- Fresh lemon juice, for brushing
Directions:
In a slow cooker, combine apple cider, whiskey, cinnamon sticks, and caramel. Cook on low until warmed through, about 2-3 hours.
To make apple cups: Slice off the top of each apple. Use an apple corer to remove the inside of the apple until you’re about a half-inch from the bottom of the apple. Squeeze lemon juice inside the apple cups to prevent apples from browning.
Ladle hot cider into apple cups. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, and serve immediately.
