Did you know that our candle vessels are actually heavy rock glasses? That means the best way to re-use these vessels after your candle has burned out is by filling them with your favorite beverage.
Need some inspiration? We have been mixing up a new seasonal cocktail/mocktail beverage every Friday over on Instagram-- Be sure to come on over and follow along!
We have come up with several fall inspired beverages that pair wonderfully with our fall scented candles. Fall is a time to stay home, get cozy on your couch, light a candle, grab a drink and binge netflix.
This first recipe screams FALL!! Would a perfect drink to mix up after a long day of apple/pumpkin picking.
Ingredients:
Cinnamon Sugar and flaky sea salt, for the rim
2 Oz. mezcal or silver tequila
1/2 oz orange liquor
4 oz apple cider
juice from 1/2 lime
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (use more or less to your taste)
Apple slices and cinnamon sticks for serving
Instructions:
1. If desired, rim your glass in salted cinnamon sugar. Mix equal parts cinnamon sugar and sea salt. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and coat in sugar.
2. Combine the mezcal or silver tequila, orange liquor, apply cider, lime juice and maple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake to combine. Strain into the glass. Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks.
Sticking with apples--this drink was absolutely delicious and goes perfectly in our heavy rock glasses!
Ingredients
Cinnamon sugar for the rim of the glass
2 tablespoons apple butter
2 oz bourbon
dash of cinnamon
top off with chilled ginger ale
orange slices for garnish
Directions
1. Rim your glass with a wedge of citrus. Poor some cinnamon sugar on a plate. Dip the rim of the glass in the cinnamon sugar. ** Note if you do not have cinnamon sugar, simply mix together sugar and cinnamon on a plate.
2. Fill a shaker glass with ice. Add the apple butter, bourbon, and a dash of cinnamon. Shake well for 30 seconds. Scoop the mixture into the glass. Fill the glass with gingerale and enjoy!
To make this cocktail a mocktail-- simply leave out the bourbon!! It is amazingly delicious either way!
I hope you enjoy these recipes and be sure to follow us on Instagram for our weekly Candle and Cocktails-- every Friday!
Please remember to ALWAYS drink responsibly. :)
As I said earlier candles and cocktails go great together-- I would personally pair these cocktails with our Autumn Harvest Candle. With notes of cinnamon, apple and clove it's the perfect candle to pair with an apple cocktail/mocktail!
