Sophisticated, delicious, and pretty! The Grand duch*ess co*cktail really lives up to the name. The refreshingly sweet, citrus flavors of Triple Sec and orange juice with the bitterness of cranberries and vodka blend excellently to create this elegant co*cktail.

So, you've probably heard of the Mimosa... but have you heard of a Beermosa?! The different spirits mixed here come together to give you the best of both worlds in this savory co*cktail. These are great for brunch, tailgating, and boys' night out. Even with all of the citrus notes in this drink, it still holds the robust flavor of a good beer! Similar to Bloody Mary garnishes, this co*cktail should be dressed with a snack on the side.

GRAPEFRUIT CRUSH

If you are a grapefruit lover, this one is for you. Good doesn't even begin to describe this co*cktail! It is full of zest while the Thyme Simple Syrup creates a subtle, herbal flavor. I would suggest using fresh-squeezed juice for the most authentic taste, but store-bought works well to make the mixing process quick and easy.

Ginger Ale and Triple Sec give this co*cktail a smooth finish and make them go down easy. Using the cinnamon stick for garnish also gives the option of adding a little extra spice to each glass!

BLUEBERRY GIN co*ckTAIL

Ingredients:

• Blueberry Simple Syrup
• Gin

If you prefer a subtle alcohol taste in your co*cktails, you'll really enjoy this drink since the alcohol is overpowered by its fruity flavor. If your co*cktail isn't strong enough, just add another shot of gin - play around and find what you like the best. This drink is so crisp and fizzy but tastes like a fruity, blueberry lemonade.

Change it up a bit and try my Homemade Blackberry Simple Syrup in place of the blueberry simple syrup with fresh blackberries for garnish! I bet it's equally divine!

While it seems fitting as a fall co*cktail, it can absolutely be enjoyed year-round. Mix it up by using additional fruits of your choice. I can totally picture cranberries, cherries, and peaches in mine! 🙂

CLEMENTINE CREAMSICLE MARTINI
