Girl’s Night In—The Delicious Fall Cocktails Our C&C Team Is Shaking Up

GNI.

As the crisp air starts to settle in, we’re swapping our heels for slippers and putting the rosé down for delicious fall-inspired cocktails instead. It’s time to start planning cozy evenings, entertaining friends indoors over going out. Want to know what our C&C team favorites are? We’re sharing our fall go-to cocktails we’re shaking up at home for a girl’s night in.

First up: Ketel One Botanical varietals—a first-of-its-kind, 100 perfect non-GMO grain vodka, distilled with real botanicals and infused with natural fruit essences—for a fresh-tasting cocktail that will warm your spirit. Not only are these cocktails delicious, but Ketel One Botanical has no carbs, no artificial flavors, no added sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. What’s not to love?

Take a look below for the best ingredients you need to mix with our favorites.

Sacha Strebe, Editorial Director

What I’m Making: The Bitter Mule

Why I Love It: “This is the perfect drink for fall because it has a sweet, yet sour flavor and it’s packed with fresh vitamin C (which we all need this time of year!). You can also swap in soda water if you want to cut back on the sugar.”

The Ingredients:

1 lemon, squeezed

1 oz Ketel One Botanical Peach & Orange Blossom

1 cup ginger beer or soda water

Splash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters

1-2 springs of mint

Add all ingredients with ice into a cocktail shaker and shake for 30 seconds.

Pour into a stemmed wine glass and add a splash of bitters for taste.

Garnish with mint.

3 oz. Fever Tree Soda Water

Garnish with peach and lemon slices as well as a sprig of mint.

Dre Reyes, Senior Marketing Associate

What I’m Making: Smell the Roses

2 tsp. of Torani Rose Flavoring Syrup

4-5 rose petals
