Behind the scenes, part of the fun is styling the gift collection - and the antiques I've gathered - so that every photograph tells the story of fall, and a beautiful, well-loved home. Flowers, lush, ripe fruit and a few greens cut from the garden are always my favorite "go to" for styling shoots. After visiting a favorite local fruit stand, I came home with practically a whole bushel of these amazing apples. I couldn't help it. Once I was there, I was reminded of the apple orchards in Europe, where each tree-ripened apple is picked at its peak of freshness, to be sold at market. So I grabbed a few, and a few more, and before I knew it I had a car filled with delicious smelling apples! My family's forest - it's a large wood where aunts and uncles have vacation homes - has a small orchard right by the main house. Ancient trees laden with fruit as their crowing glory achieve their full splendor in the fall. All these beautiful apples and memories awakened a desire for autumn dinners, sitting around the fire pit with family and friends and drinking a warming cocktail. But since it's still technically summer here in California, with warm, sunny days - even for me - that seemed a bit premature. Fortunately, my friend Lisa from DeliciousTable had the perfect solution for my desire for an apple cocktail drink that is warming, yet still refreshing and cold! {it pays to have a chef as a friend!} Fireball Cinnamon Apple Cider Fall Cocktails are surprisingly refreshing with orange, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cinnamon whiskey, and apple cider. The color of fall, this is really a delicious fall cocktail, it tastes like cinnamon red hots, only for grown-ups.. I love the colors in this cocktail, it's festive, and easy to make for guests.

Here is the recipe. Because I was all-over crazy about the apples, I used apple slices as a garnish, and omitted the *cinnamon sticks, orange peel and cloves*. The cinnamon whiskey packs enough of a cinnamon punch for me, but next time, maybe at Thanksgiving, I'll make it the "right" way!
