All About Apples

Fall days are here once again and with them comes the arrival of crisp mornings, crunchy leaves and everyone's favorite autumn fruit, apples. Some choose to bake them in pies, while others think their flavor stands out best in a crisp. Here at Barritt's Ginger Beer, however, we prefer to take a different approach. We're giving one of fall's most beloved flavors an upgrade this season with the addition of Barritt's Ginger Beer and our favorite spirits. Get a true taste of fall with these apple-infused cocktail recipes.
