Autumn comes with rich and comforting flavors, from fresh fruits to beloved spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg—aromas that remind us of steaming pies and childhood desserts. These flavors, however, are not limited to culinary dishes; they are also found in autumn cocktails, ideal mixes to be enjoyed on cold or rainy days.
