As Carrie Bradshaw once said...

"I've always wanted to drink learn French and drink wine before noon."

A week or two ago I was out with friends when I was asked "What can I get you to drink?" My usual answer is a Cosmopolitan— but I was feeling adventurous. Faced with a drink menu full of cocktails I had never heard of, I decided it was time to do more research. As fall is fast approaching many of the drinks I stumbled upon had an Autumn twist. Here are a few recipes I found that every fall lover will want to try:
