City Winery, West Loop, Chicago

Last night, Eric and I had a BLAST tasting Oregon’s best Pinots @ City Winery. We used to go to attend tastings all the time in NYC, so I must admit I was excited to do something that brought back old memories while also helping me fall in love with Chicago a bit more.

Happy Friday! I hope you all enjoy this upcoming weekend. I know I will…the weatherman is telling me that we might hit 50 degrees!

Fall is DEFINITELY in the air (especially here in Chicago).  We arrived back to the Windy City yesterday after spending some days down South, and MAN! was it colder here.  Couple that with marathon football watching, and I think it’s time we just call a spade a spade.  Fall is right around the corner and it’s time we prepare!

I love trying new things.  New food, new cities, new clothes, and even new drinks.  So today, I’m showcasing some of the must-try drinks on my Fall cocktail list.  Enjoy!

  1. Roasted Fig Cocktail
  2. KIR Cocktail
  3. Pumpkin Buttered Rum
  4. Fall Sangria
  5. Rosy Cranberry Cider
  6. Cranberry Spice White Wine Sangria

And, like all of my inspiration posts, you can hop on over to Pinterest to see even more (like 20 more) fall cocktail recipes!

Despite the erratic North Eastern weather, Summer appears to be in full swing all over the US (especially in the South…I willing to bet you guys would PAY for the cold weather we’re having up here!).

So when Summer rears it’s pretty little head, I want light, fruity, fun, easy-to-drink cocktails.  Today I present you with exactly that.  Hopefully this post gives you a go-to for summer cocktail making!

Cue the pics!
