    Ginger Highball with Cinnamon Liqueur

    I know fall weather truly is just around the corner -- as early as today, in fact. Cooler temperatures are on their way, along with crisp winds, changing leaves, and Oregon's bountiful fall fruit harvest (apples! pumpkins! squash!). To celebrate the spice and warmth of the upcoming season, I'm sharing a cocktail recipe that is absolutely perfect for fall: the Ginger Highball with Cinnamon Liqueur.

    I love using cinnamon and ginger in cooking and baking year-round, but there's something extra warm and cozy about a cocktail that has these delicious typically-fall-inspired spices.

    When drinking this, feel free to start up the fireplace, cuddle on on the couch with a cozy throw, and light cinnamon candles around the house.

    What is a Highball? 

    A highball is simply a cocktail that has a liqueur base that is topped with more non-alcoholic liquids than alcohol. Think: the classic Jack & Coke. I like highballs because they warm you up without making you too boozy woozy (you know what I'm sayin'?).

    This highball recipe consists of a cinnamon liqueur, ginger ale, and a few drops of cardamom bitters, poured over a glass of ice.

    Sukkah Hill Spirits sent me a few of their aromatic liqueurs to try (their Etrog is the bomb if you love lemon-flavored cocktails!), and I fell in love with the Besamim. This cinnamon liqueur is a balanced blend of fall in a bottle. This would also be great to add to desserts, such as a tiramisu or apple hand pies.

    But of course, it shines in a cocktail like this Cinnamon Ginger Highball that allows the cinnamon liqueur to shine.

        This change in weather is so refreshing, but it's caught me off-guard. I woke up this morning and was like, WHAT? I'm cold!

        I bet this highball would warm me right up though. ;)

        I'm thinking corn mazes and these drinks are going to be in my very near future.

        Mmm, it sounds great! I like highballs too, because you can just make them as light as you want. (My thinking on this might have changed in the last 10 years or so.)

        Yeah, what is happening with the weather? Rain then 90+ degree weather? It is all over the place. This cocktail sounds delightful!

        I'm not sure I could do the alcoholic version of this drink - blame it on a night of whiskey gingers in my early 20s - but I would love to try this with ginger beer!!

        Sadly (and paradoxically) ginger makes me super nauseous. But I might try it without that element. Cinnamon apple sounds timely.

        It seemed like fall came all of a sudden this morning where cinnamon is called for! Adding the liquor to apples sounds divine
