This Spiced Pear and Bourbon Sparkler cocktail is just the thing for a holiday dinner or a random Thursday evening.

The Mushroom Manhattan cocktail may sound, well, unlikely. But, we guarantee the woodsy umami of the mushroom pairs beautifully with the oaky tobacco-reminiscent whiskey flavors. Add the sweetness of vermouth and you have a winning combination. The cocktail also has a dash (or two) of Angostura bitters lending it citrus overtones.

Mushroom cocktails are trending along with a culinary leaning towards umami flavors. Try one, and then experiment with different mushroom varieties. This makes for a delightful fall sipper.

This easy-to-mix Fall Colors Cocktail is reminiscent of the season with its spicy and floral flavors and golden and orange colors.

It begins with bourbon and elderflower liqueur. The spice comes from ginger beer (not ginger ale) and there is a healthy dose of bitters poured over top for a garnish. You can serve it with the floating bitters for the full-color effect and choose to either stir them in or sip it with the bitters on top.
