Summer is officially at its end on Friday, September 23, at 5:04 a.m. (EST), but just because those days associated with sun and fun are almost over doesn't mean you can't still feel like you're in 'vacation mode'. A fabulous cocktail makes a great remedy for end-of-summer blues and is also a great way to ease into the coming season by savoring the flavors of fall.
Try one of the following refreshing, fall elixirs that have been inspired by global travels (courtesy of Tommy Bahama Restaurant), utilizing Pisco, a clear brandy from grapes in South America, Kentucky Burbon from the good ol' US of A, and Calvados, an exquisite apple brandy from France, mixed with fresh juices.
