Fall For These Seasonal Sips

We’re always sad to see the end of summer, but the rich flavors of autumn help ease the transition. There’s so much more to this time of year than pumpkin spice—not that there’s anything wrong with pumpkin spice—ranging from crisp apple and spicy ginger to maple, nuts and dried fruits.

Here are a few recipes we like that help celebrate the fall season. As always, if you don’t have the exact spirit brand, substitute with a similar product.
