Late summer/early fall is a transitionary time for fruit. We say goodbye to most of our strawberries and cherries and fruits of the like. As we welcome the flavors of early fall, I start to think more about juicy pears and all the wonderful varietals of apples that are appearing on the shelves, the abundance of fresh apricots and the globes of grapes. Putting together cocktails is fun for anyone. Step one – take what you like from the fruit /herb/vegetable department. Step two – figure out what goes best together and how to extract the juices. Step three – add your favorite spirit and drink it. Easy as that. Here is a fun late summer/early fall recipe for you to try.
