Nothing screams Fall like a crisp chill in the air and a cocktail by the fireplace. With autumnal ingredients such as  apple cider, cinnamon, hot chocolate and pumpkin spice, these cocktails by NYC mixologist Peter Ruppert (Lucien, Short Stories NYC) will keep you nice and toasty well into the winter months. For those who are hosting socially distant gatherings, these drinks are sure to impress your guests with a rich and sweet flavor profile.
