Fall Cocktail Recipes To Help You Kick Off The Weekend

As much as we love sipping pumpkin spice lattes on crisp fall days, when Friday afternoon rolls around, we’re inclined to swap out espresso for something a little more festive. And while we’d prefer to savor said adult beverages nestled in a cabin atop the Adirondack Mountains, sometimes, a weekend getaway just isn’t in the cards. But not to fear! Haute Living reached out to celebrated mixologist Zachary Blair for delicious cocktail recipes served at Whiteface Lodge in upstate New York to help you kick off the season (and weekend) right.
