“The ripe, the golden month has come again, and in Virginia the chinkapins are falling. Frost sharps the middle music of the seasons, and all things living on the earth turn home again… the fields are cut, the granaries are full, the bins are loaded to the brim with fatness, and from the cider-press the rich brown oozings of the York Imperials run. The bee bores to the belly of the grape, the fly gets old and fat and blue, he buzzes loud, crawls slow, creeps heavily to death on sill and ceiling, the sun goes down in blood and pollen across the bronzed and mown fields of the old October.” ~Thomas Wolfe

Hi! Hick!! Excuse me but I’ve been over at two other places so . . . . All of these cocktails are so good. I love sampling them. I know it’s a little early in the day but when opportunity presents itself I have to take advantage. Thank you for the delicious drink. I am pinning all of them.
Wish we were all sipping these together! This sounds perfect Heather

Cheers friend – it looks delicious! And love the low calorie option!
Friggin luv apple cider and fall (pardon my french). We are in New York – the fall air is so much cooler and crisper after the humid summers. I am not much of a drinker, but for this I will make an exception. Thanks, Fred.
wishing I was enjoying one (or two) of these right now
