We've put away the blender and the iced tea pitcher and finally accepted the fact that summer cocktail season has, indeed, come to an end. But the mourning period was brief: fall cocktails are packed with flavor, color and spice and do wonders to make the darker evenings more bearable!
Many of my favorite fall flavors (ripe pear, vanilla bean, pomegranate, tart apple) make a showing in fall cocktails, spanning the map from the classic margarita to a twist on a hot toddy. What I love about many of these drinks, too, is that you won't have to go out and stock the bar with different liquors you'll likely use once or twice. These cocktails use classic ingredients that you'll continue using throughout the fall. And winter, too.

At the close of each summer season there are a few things that comfort me knowing my flip-flops will shortly be replaced by fleece, and one of them is Grand Marnier. I fell for this soul-warming orange liqueur back in my days of baking and pastry classes at The Culinary Institute of America.
One bottle of Chartreuse is enough for most people to keep in their bar. At last glance I noticed we had three, which was a tell-tale sign that I was neglecting this floral, herbal sip in my makings for happy hour. So I set out to find a suitable cocktail for fall that included this gorgeous, herbaceous green liqueur.
It didn't take long to find it sings when mixed with gin and since we'd been on a Negroni kick this was perfect for shaking up our tried and true happy hour go-to. Instead of the Campari in a Negroni, we swapped it out for the emerald Chartreuse and added some orange bitters.
The idea of using raw eggs in cocktails might freak you out, or maybe you're more of an adventurous imbiber. It's a given that eggnog has egg in it but there are whole categories of drinks containing this lovely little protein.
Along with the Nogs there're Fizzs like the Sloe Gin Fizz, Sours and Flips. Sours and Fizz's can be made with or without the egg and typically they call for just the egg whites. With Nogs and Flips you get the whole egg.
Trying to recreate a stellar Ramos Gin Fizz she had at a bar, Megan of Not Martha found that she wasn't able to get the deep layer of egg-white foam she was looking for by just shaking up the drink in her cocktail shaker. Instead, she experimented with repurposing a kitchen unitasker into an effective egg-white cocktail maker that turned out to be "so easy," she says, "it felt like cheating."
The window of time when Seattle is sunny (and even hot) is relatively brief and happening right now. The days are long, and we're trying to pack it in with evening runs after work and plenty of backyard lounging and occasional cocktails out. In this past week alone, I've noticed a trend at bars around town: carbonated cocktails. On tap. Often seasonal. Always delicious.
