Fashionable Hostess | Amanda S. Gluck
I was so excited to share some fall entertaining tips on the Pottery Barn blog (check it out here!). They have the prettiest fall entertaining and décor selection, and it really makes all the difference when it comes to hosting; like these flameless birch candles and this antique silver ice bucket. So today, I wanted to share a fall cocktail that I whipped up especially for this photo shoot, which includes my favorite fall ingredient, apple cider. My husband is a huge bourbon lover, so I knew these would be a hit at my upcoming party, and the icing on the cake is the addition of ginger beer for a bit of fizz (I fell in love with ginger beer from drinking Moscow Mules!). Thank you to the blog Self Proclaimed Foodie for inspiring this recipe.
