Fall begins on Monday. There’s nothing like the warmth of a well-crafted bourbon cocktail to capture that cozy, seasonal magic and get a jumpstart on autumn. Imagine sipping a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Or maybe something truly inspired by the season, like a Lion’s Tail or Fall Punch. Whether you’re gathering with friends, cozying up by candlelight, or hosting a dinner under the harvest moon, let these special bourbon drinks be your toast to pumpkin patches, woodsmoke, and richer, deeper flavors that only this time of year can bring.
