Happy Sunday Dolls! I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but fall has definitely descended upon the East Coast. It was 80 degrees on Tuesday, but this weekend it’s been crispy, cool and windy. I actually love this weather – perfect for a fab turtleneck, leggings, riding boots and leather gloves. Also perfect for harvest drinks. Peep the details below for some decadent drinks for the fall.

Hot Apple Pie Run Punch
The Ingredients
- 8 cups apple cider
- 1 apple, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 orange, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cups dark rum
The Mixology. In a large pot, combine the apple cider, apple slices, orange slices, ginger slices and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rum.
Note: The apple cider mixture can be kept warm over low heat for up to 2 hours before adding the rum and serving.
In my mind the barware in just as important as the cocktail. Here are some of my favorite stemless flutes.
There you have it Dolls! Enjoy your champagne Sunday harvest drinks! Chin, chin!
Until then, keep sharing the pretty,
