Man, it’s been awhile. You know how everything is the same until it’s not?
Ha. I know, obvious. But still. Like. Autumn. It’s here. It’s happening. Happening like whoa.
It’s time to spice up our taste buds and stir in all those awesome flavors to make this delightful season as vibrant as it can be. Fall is the time of change, but it’s the kind of change that we love (hopefully). The kind of transition that we put our boots on for, and breathe in deeply as we stroll through the streets with the leaves crunching below our feet. So whatever may be in store for you this fall—let’s start it off smart. Let’s take the time before making our big decisions, so we can be as bold as possible when the time comes. And what better way to bring in that sophistication to our palate than with a lovely brandy cocktail? So without further ado, I present to you, Notable Scheme, the first of my many upcoming autumn cocktails. Here’s a defined mouth-warming cocktail of apple and blackberry brandy with spikes of allspice to bring it all in. Careful, it’s definitely a charming little devil that wants to be your friend, so pace yourself before it gets the best of you. Tin hats on, scholars. We’re in it to win it now.
- 1 ½ oz Liard’s Apple Brandy
- 1 ½ oz Blackberry Brandy
- ¼ oz Allspice Dram
*Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass

Ooh, this seems tasty! I'm already missing berries from the summer, but I think the blackberry is a fantastic transition into the fall!
