The foliage, the crisp temperatures, the ginger beer cocktails — it’s true that nothing beats fall on the East Coast… particularly in Pennsylvania. This historic state is known for their iconic role in the start of our great country. However, we’re convinced it should also be known that they serve up a mean Barritt’s cocktail. Find out which of our favorite spots are a must-add to your East Coast bucket list.
