First Day of Autumn Felt Like Summer

A beautiful start to fall in West Michigan. My morning coffee saw our Pacific Rhododendron blooming three months later than usual. I’m not complaining. It will be cold here soon enough.

The warm weather didn’t stop the launch of three new fall cider cocktails today at Virtue Farm.

Ditches & Culverts Cherry Mitten cider, Rare Tea Cellar’s Italian Green Almondine, angelica root syrup, fresh lemon juice. Served on the rocks in a bodega glass. A cider version of an Amaretto Sour.

Ready For The Big Reveal? Malted honey sarsaparilla, Rare Tea Cellar’s Horchata Chai, Blueberry Mitten cider, Angostura bitters, cream, nutmeg. Served up in a pub glass. An elevated iced chai with cider.

Wild About Game Rare Tea Cellar’s Berry Meritage & Forbidden Forest Lapsang Souchong, Cardinale cider with Brettanomyces, 2:1 Demerara syrup, Angostura bitters, twice slapped sage. Served up in a coupe. A savory cocktail of contemplation.

Sparkling Cider and Bourbon Cocktail

Fall is the perfect time for bourbon cocktails with their sweet kick and butterscotch flavor. For a drink that will help you unwind without making you feel too tired, try this simple four-ingredient cocktail. The addition of sparkling cider provides a sweet and bubbly taste that complements the popular whiskey's apple flavor. A touch of bitters adds complexity to the drink. If you want to make it a bit fancier, serve it in a Champagne coup!

3 oz. nonalcoholic sparkling cider (such as Martinelli’s)

Apple Cider Bourbon Thyme Smash

the whole “i only like really fruity and sugary alcohol” thing is all well and good until your body starts going to war with you in your mid-20’s if you try to keep doing that

this appears to be a known drink but I didn’t see any stock photos anywhere. so if you mix one up, add a picture on here for history

Happy New Years 2K24 from yours truly...

Original Colored version.

Edited Monochrome version.

In honor of New Years, the twins, Black Spy and White Spy, and their hippie neighbor, Phil, have really gotten themselves hammered quite a bit and boy have they ever. Surprisingly, nobody is actually fighting for once. Although, Black (being his smart-alecky, goofy, mischievous, trickster self) is pulling a prank for the picture here. Apparently, the word "champagne" has been misspelt and I think I have a possible theory why: the Apple Cider Champagne Cocktail was, apparently, homemade by Miriam Pataki, without the trio's knowledge. Why does Phil look rather tan in the colored image? Well, let's just say that he apparently used his Christmas money he got from his adoptive relatives at the local tanning salon.

Anyhow, Crappy New Year. :o Oops, sorry; somebody made the banner say "Crappy" instead of "Happy." LOL!! Happy New Year. Peace.

Violet’s Winter Bird, Tiki Inspired Cocktail at Virtue Cider

We debuted ‘Violet’s Winter Bird’ last Saturday, it sold well. I had a lot of fun developing this one. Rare Tea Cellar flipped me a sample of their Tropical Spiced Clementine a while back. After tasting it, I thought that it would make a pretty delicious Tiki cocktail with the right cider. I also love the color and the violet froth. The Aleppo pepper on top gives it a slight spicy kick.

Above is Charlie Mosterd making the cocktail. He also shot & edited the video for IG. In addition to working behind the bar, Charlie will be helping shape the content for our farm.

god. I know it's just exit polls. And I know that labour isn't the best. But this is the first time since I was 6 years old there hasn't been a Tory in power. Fucking finally. I can't wait. Honestly. Please. Please. I'm letting myself be hopeful for just a moment while I'm a little too drunk to be cynical. Please.
