I did a Fall Frenzy post that was a little hard to focus on since it was still 80°. But here we are, in the midst of November with the holidays just around the corner. I thought we could refocus and showcase some amazing dishes chosen by our chefs to share for the season. Maybe even inspire you- 

I'm starting with a cocktail. Joe Wrye our star bartender, mixologist, barkeep, whatever name you like, recently added this to the menu and it's perfect for the season. Not too sweet, not too strong, just the right amount of everything.

Here it is and here is how you make it.....

 

The Gravenstein
2 ounces Russell 10yr Bourbon
1 ounce unfiltered apple juice
.5 ounces Amaretto
.25 ounces lemon juice
Mix and pour over ice with a lemon wedge or thinly sliced apple.
