I'm bringing drinks!

I'm bringing drinks, including this delightful seasonal cocktail: Autumn Sunset 

Ingredients:

1 tsp minced pumpkin puree, 1 oz brandy, ½ oz Calvados, 2 oz apple juice, ¼ oz grenadine, splash soda garnish and le cinnamon stick.

Put all ingredients except grenadine and cinnamon stick into cocktail shaker, shake vigorously and pour into a tall marti

ni glass. After pouring, drizzle grenadine on top so it falls to the bottom of the glass to create the effect of an “autumn sunset.” If you wish to drink this beverage hot, omit the splash of soda. Pour ingredients into 8 oz glass coffee mug, add 6 oz hot water, stir vigorously to blend. Add grenadine as above. Garnish with cinnamon stick plus three whole cloves.

I hope that each of you ladies is having a delightful end of summer. All is well in our nation's capital.
