One of our favorite fall traditions is picking up a fresh jug of apple cider from a local farm. Cider is delicious on its own of course, but it’s also a wonderful mixer for fall cocktails. This recipe is a riff on the classic old fashioned but it brings in some fresh fruit flavors for an ideal drink that is sure to make everyone a little happier to see fall.
