Autumn has arrived and, with it, so have the colours of the leaves in the streets, the first rains, the first cold and, of course, the typical tastes and flavours of this season, so loved and so hated.
Even the cocktail sector adapts to seasonal changes and there are numerous ideal drinks to enjoy in autumn, in the company of friends, in the warmth of a bar or in your living room: from the Cosmopolitan to the Manhattan, let’s find out together the perfect flavours for this particular time of year.
Cocktails matching autumn: from the Cosmopolitan to the Negroni
The arrival of a new season is synonymous with major changes, not only in the climate and temperatures, but also in the tastes and flavours of our traditions.
We start lighting up stoves and fireplaces and, on evenings at the bar or at home in the company of friends, we often prefer to be accompanied by a good cocktail that reminds us of autumn. There are numerous drinks that go particularly well with this season, its colours, its scents, its suggestions.
One of the ideal cocktails for autumn is the traditional Cosmopolitan.
Its pink colour is a joy to the eyes and matches the colours of autumn leaves, which are often characterised by bright and colourful hues. Its ingredients, on the other hand, are an experience for the palate: from vodka and cointreau to lime and blueberry syrup, they give a balanced taste that swings between sweet and sour.
Another traditional cocktail to pair with the autumn season is the Negroni, a timeless must that never gets old. Suitable for those who prefer decidedly strong flavours, it consists of gin, campari and red vermouth: a formula that satisfies our taste buds especially in autumn.
Its red colour also recalls autumn leaves and its taste goes well with strong flavours, such as hot and spicy, but also with a meat dish: the ideal accompaniment for our autumn dinners.
