Fall was here for about a minute. And like that, it was gone. The scraggly trees holding on to a few brown leaves are now nearly invisible in a sea of white. My coworkers and I got giddy with the prospects of this winter wonderland. Twinkly lights were strung and Christmas music was playing. But wait! It’s only November! Before I jump on the Christmas bandwagon (and oh, I will) I wanted to share this fall cocktail to keep you warm from the inside out. It is simple and not too overbearing with the fall flavors. I recommend enjoying it by a roaring fire cozied up with the one you love.
