Summer Leaves

Summer Leaves Cocktail

As summer leaves us and autumn changes the colors of the trees, it’s a great time to sit outside and enjoy a nice cocktail.  This drink is easy to make and is creamy and delicious. Adding a bit of Club Soda lightens it up a bit, just be sure to add the Soda after shaking, otherwise the carbonation can cause your shaker to separate and you will have a big mess on your hands, (literally!)  

September is National Bourbon Month and always pairs excellently with RumChata.

The Aztec Chocolate Bitters add a wonderful complexity.  They can be easily ordered online.

We hope you will put on a sweater and enjoy this yummy cocktail in the brisk fall air while admiring the autumn leaves!
