There are plenty of classic vodka cocktails that you already know about, and vodka is often thought of as a spirit for the warmer months due to its light and subtle character. But the great advantage of vodka as a mixing ingredient is that it can be combined with practically any flavor and still work well. So why not try out some fall-themed vodka cocktails?

All-natural vodka brand YoCo Vodka uses corn as the base for its vodka distillation, and it’s the perfect ingredient for mixing into seasonal cocktail. If you’re looking for a classic cozy fall drink that the Bonita Applebum makes use of apple cider for fall flavors plus Prosecco and gold flakes for a touch of glam.

Home bar hack: How to make French press cocktails
Use your French press to make a drink to imbibe in
Man using a French press

You might be procrastinating on getting the cocktail shaker you deserve, or perhaps you just want to try a new approach to making cocktails. Either way, French press cocktails are about to transform the way you tend your home bar. Who said this device has to be only for coffee beverages? This trend has been percolating for quite some time, as seasoned mixologists have developed airtight methods for creating hot and cold drinks.

Hot cocktail lovers can enjoy a simpler technique that yields more complex flavors, while cold/room-temperature cocktails can be improved through a better infusion process. Either way, you’ll be able to yield multiple drinks by using a French press for cocktails and maybe even enough for a dinner party, depending on the size of your press. While some insist on buying a new French press specifically for cocktails, your everyday press will work just fine if you wash it well and regularly. Below, discover the best French press cocktail recipes, both hot and iced.

Josue Gonzalez, bartender at Swan Bar

Every drinker knows Mexico's most famous spirits export, tequila, and plenty of people around the world are getting into mezcal these days as well. But Mexico has more to offer cocktail enthusiasts than just these spirits, and as part of the celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month, three bartenders from San Diego have created cocktails using lesser-known Mexican ingredients.

These three recipes use ingredients like Abasolo corn whiskey, Alma Finca orange liqueur, Nocheluna Sotol (a distilled spirit from Chihuahua), and the fermented pineapple drink tepache to create modern takes on distinctly Mexican tastes.  The drinks are available at each of the bartenders' bars, but if you're feeling adventurous then you can also follow the recipes to recreate them at home.

If you’re a fan of mixed drinks, you’ve probably heard references to the "cocktail renaissance." From around 2003 through 2019, we were in the midst of a mixology movement. This is when bartending changed from simply a job to an exciting career.

It’s also a period when cocktailing became more of an art form and brought us countless pioneering, creative bartenders from Tacoma to Tampa. It also brought with it a return to historical, classic drinks that might have otherwise fallen out of favor or have been forgotten in time.
