The next season is fast approaching. Can you feel it in the air? Have you noticed the sun has moved? Where in the world does the time go? Fall is often a depressing time of year for me. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the beautiful changing leaves, cozy fires, and comfort foods associated with fall. But, everything starts to die and it turns cold fast here in Colorado. Death and cold, talk about depressing. Summers here are so short that most times I feel robbed. 🙁 What can I say? I love the summer.

The first fall cocktail recipe I have for you involves Limoncello. Something I am particularly partial to.
It’s just so lemony and yummy!
Limoncello Italian Soda!
Oh yes!
Creamy, light, slightly sweet, lemony, crisp…what’s not to love?
Oh, and by the way, if you like Limoncello and Moscow mules, you will love this Limoncello Moscow Mule Recipe. ♥
If you have never had an Italian soda…I’m sorry.
You have missed out on one of the finer things in life.
But don’t worry, I got you!
Italian sodas are typically non-alcoholic and consist of 3 basic ingredients. Syrup, club soda or seltzer water, and cream.

To make this Limoncello Italian soda 21+, I replaced the syrup with Limoncello which really is just lemon-infused grain alcohol with simple syrup added.
I also replaced the flavorless sparkling base with a delicious Truly Hard Seltzer Lemonade!
The First of 4 Fall Cocktail Recipes: Limoncello Italian Soda
1- 12 oz can Truly Hard Seltzer Lemonade
1.5 oz Limoncello
1.5 oz half and half
Ice
Fill a 16 oz tallboy halfway with ice. Add Limoncello and Truly Hard Seltzer Lemonade making sure to leave room for the cream. Give it a stir. Top with half and half. Garnish with a lemon slice.
Salted Caramel White Russian Recipe:
It is as delectable as it sounds! If you like milkshakes you’ll definitely like this super special fall cocktail recipe.
1 part Caramel Vodka
1 part Kahlua
1 part half and half
Margarita salt
ice
cocktail shaker
Salt the rim of your tumbler with margarita salt.
Fill tumbler 3/4 up with ice.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add caramel vodka, Kahlua, and half and half.

and pour over ice in a tumbler.
Speaking of tumblers…
How cute is that tumbler?? “Might be water, might be vodka.” I love it!! Hubby got one too. 🙂
He likes wine, I prefer vodka.
Hint, there might be a tumbler in the giveaway basket. ♥
You can get a personalized tumbler from www.simplysoozan.com.
I have been very impressed with these tumblers. They keep our drinks cold and they’re super cute!
Simply Soozan did a great job making and packaging these beauties. ♥ She even included a little treat!
Who doesn’t love Laffy Taffy?! These personalized tumblers would make GREAT gifts by the way.
Cranapple Cape Cod Recipe:
A little fall twist on the classic Cape Cod! Crisp, clean, and refreshing!
1/2 cup Simply Cranberry Juice
1/2 cup Simply Apple Juice
3 oz vodka
ice
Fill tumbler half with ice. Add cranberry
juice, apple juice, and vodka. Stir and, enjoy!
PRO TIP: I highly recommend using the Simply Juice brand!! This fall cocktail recipe will not be the same without it.
Mixed Berry Sangria Recipe:
Yum, yum, yum! One of my favorites for sure! The slightly sweet berry flavor with the Garnacha and the brandy…forget about it! If you’re a wine lover you simply must try this recipe. ♥
1 bottle of Garnacha Red wine
1/2 cup brandy
2 cups mixture of blackberries,
strawberries, and raspberries
Combine all ingredients is a large
pitcher. Chill in the refrigerator for
8 hours.
PRO TIP: Chilling time for your sangria is vital. Don’t mess around with this last step. You need that time for all the flavors to come together.
If you don't allow the chilling time it's not sangria, it's just spiked wine with a mixed berry garnish. Click To TweetI hope you enjoy these recipes! Leave me a comment below or tag me on Instagram @makingmyabode and let me know what you thought of them. 🙂
