Apple Pie Sidecar
by Dennis Mayer on September 23rd, 2011 | Cocktails, Crafty Bartender
Fall is a strange time of year in the food and beverage world. Half of the menus you see feature items that stretch out bright, fresh summer flavors as long as possible. The rest look forward to the warm, hearty cuisine we'll be eating all winter. The drinks that suit the seasons change as well.
