The summer passed quickly, just like my summer bar haul essentials were used up. Keeping the bar simple turned out to be a success. Friends could easily see and pick bottles they liked and put them in the freezer to chill. I enjoy this laid-back way of entertaining.

Adding a new adaptogenic spirit has been pleasant to sip on at night. I borrowed a few long steamed tasting glasses from my parents’ collection. They’re Portuguese, and my parents have had them forever.

I tried to incorporate more NA spirits for fall. Gin and tonics are great for any season since the garnish is really what makes the drink pop. A whiskey alternative paired with an old-fashioned mix is something I am really excited about serving to friends as the weather turns cooler. What are you looking forward to sipping on this fall season?

ADAPTOGENIC KIN EUPHORICS has been a welcome addition to my nightly routine.

FALL LINE UP A few of my favorite summer drinks are back for fall. I found the same tiki mug my parents had in a smaller size at an antique store and had to bring it home with me.

SMALL DETAILS Vintage Portuguese glasses and lightly scented tapper candles are festive, not fussy ...

KEEP IT LITE You can never go wrong with jam, cheese, and crackers. Keep a few small jars on hand so guests can choose a flavor that pleases their palate…

Fig and Olive Crisps, Fig Spread, Tapper Candles, Short Candle Holder, Tall Candle Holder.

CHILL OUT Overstock your fridge with beverages to avoid guests feeling the need to take that task on themselves ...

MORE TO LOVE I used to enjoy using this classic old fashioned mix from Cocktail Crate when I used to drink alcohol. I plan to give these as a hostess gift during the upcoming holiday season.

Cocktail Crate Classic Old Fashion, Bravus Brewing Co Golden Light, Hairless Dog Brewing Co Citra Lager.
