Fall in Love with Fall Flavours: Crafting Exceptional Autumn Cocktails with Symply Syrups

The Best Alcohol for Fall Cocktails

When it comes to crafting fall cocktails, your choice of alcohol is crucial. The warm, earthy, and sometimes spicy flavours of autumn pair beautifully with certain spirits. Here are some of the best alcohols to consider for your fall-inspired concoctions:

1. Bourbon: This American whiskey is a fall classic. Its rich, caramel notes complement the season's flavours perfectly. Try it in a Cinnamon Old Fashioned or a Vanilla Bourbon Smash.

2. Rum: Dark or spiced rum adds a touch of warmth and sweetness to your drinks. It's a fantastic choice for crafting apple or pumpkin-inspired cocktails.

3. Brandy: As the weather cools, consider brandy for its fruity and nutty undertones. It's ideal for creating classics like the Sidecar or innovative fall cocktails.

4. Gin: While gin is often associated with summer, it can be a versatile base for fall drinks. Opt for a gin with botanicals like cardamom or cinnamon.
