Now that our weather has finally taken a turn toward fall, we wanted to break out a classic 1-2-3 punch of autumnal flavors. The sage-apple combo is a nod to the start of the holiday season (only 6 weeks away!), with the sweetness of caramelized maple sugar to balance out the spicy, woody whiskey and tart lemon. Enjoy the change of season, and we’ll see you again in the Spring!
