Twisting the classic mint julep idea just a bit, this variation substitutes crème de cacao for the sugar, adding a chocolate flavor that pairs well with both bourbon and mint.

Chocolate Mint Julep Cocktail Recipe

mint leaves, mint

(60 milliliters) bourbon or rye whiskey (see note)

In a julep cup or large rocks glass, gently muddle mint leaves until lightly bruised, then swab the glass's sides with the mint's aromatic oils. Add crème de cacao and bourbon or rye and stir well. Half-fill glass with crushed ice and stir to combine. Fill glass completely with crushed ice and stir until outside of glass frosts. Add more crushed ice, heaping generously, then garnish with sprigs of fresh mint. Serve, adding a short straw if desired so that the fragrance of the mint bouquet will greet the drinker with each sip.

Bourbon, lemon, and honey combine for a cocktail that's perfect in all seasons.

Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Shake until well chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled double old fashioned glass.

The extra kick of a high-proof bourbon is great up against the bold, woodsy sage in this cocktail. We used Wild Turkey 101, which offers caramel and vanilla notes that are an ideal match for pumpkin.

Whipped egg whites lighten up this classic spiked eggnog just a bit, without losing the richness of the original.

Classic Eggnog Recipe

eggs, separated

sugar (5 ounces; 140 grams), divided

(700 milliliters) whole milk

(475 milliliters) heavy cream

(475 milliliters) dark rum, brandy, or a mix

For Basic Shaken Eggnog: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 eggs, 2 1/2 tablespoons (37g) sugar, 3/4 cup (180ml) milk, 1/2 cup (120ml) cream, and 1/2 cup (120ml) rum, brandy, or a mix of the two. Shake vigorously until homogeneous and frothy. Strain into 3 to 4 goblets and top with freshly grated nutmeg. Repeat process with remaining ingredients for further batches.

For Extra-Light and Foamy Eggnog: Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on low speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively, use a handheld electric mixer or hand blender in a large bowl.) Increase speed to medium-high and, watching carefully, beat until egg whites are about the consistency of shaving cream, about 90 seconds. Reduce speed to medium. With mixer running, add half of sugar and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Transfer whites to a large bowl. Do not wash mixer bowl.

Add egg yolks and remaining sugar to now-empty mixer bowl and beat at medium-high speed until pale yellow and ribbony, shutting off machine and scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as necessary, about 2 minutes total. Add milk, cream, and alcohol and mix on low speed to combine.

Using a rubber spatula or handheld whisk, fold whipped whites into egg yolk/milk mixture until completely incorporated. Serve by ladling into goblets and garnishing with grated nutmeg.

In this sweet dessert drink the old duo Kahlua and cream get a fall update with pumpkin butter. The wildcard ingredient here is Ramazotti, an amaro with strong notes of orange and cinnamon that goes fantastically well with pumpkin.

Ti Punch has only a few ingredients and is extraordinarily simple to prepare. The Ti Punch looks much like a daiquiri or a caipirinha, but the distinctive flavor of rhum agricole makes this a particularly musky and rugged drink. Using a white agricole is traditional, though the aged agricole, or rhum vieux, are a bit more user-friendly for the agricole novice.

Ti' Punch Recipe

cane syrup,

lime,

In a rocks or old-fashioned glass, pour the cane syrup and squeeze the lime slice, which has been cut from the side of the fruit so that the aromatic oils from the peel will flavor the drink. Add the rum and stir until syrup is dissolved; add a few large cubes of ice and briefly stir to chill.

Hard to hate but the cola and lime dominate the subtle gin flavours.

All the flavor of limoncello without the sugary guilt! Make this recipe in a sous vide in 3 hours or 4 weeks the traditional way.

Sugar Free Limoncello

Purecane Sweetener

lemon, peeled

Set your sous vide to 135 degrees fahrenheit. 

Wash all of your lemons thoroughly under warm water. 

Peels the skin off of 6 lemons, and try to get as little of the lemon pith as possible because it will make the limoncello more bitter.

Place the lemon peels into three mini mason jars or one large mason jar and fill with vodka.

Seal the mini mason jars and place in the sous vide water bath for 3 hours.

Remove the jars from the water bath. While the jars are starting to cool make your Purecane simple syrup by boiling the water

When the water is boiling mix in the Purecane and stir till its dissolved, remove from heat.

Open each individual jar and filter out the excess lemon rinds. 

Sweeten the limoncello to taste with your Purecane simple syrup, we preferred 4 tablespoons per mini mason jar, or ¾ of a cup total.

Chill each mini mason jar in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

Shake or stir before drinking as some natural separation may occur.
