The scariest (and best) cocktails are the ones that taste so good and so refreshing that you actually forget there's alcohol in it! Well, that's this cocktail (you've been warned!). Hopefully you don't have an attachment to orange juice and champagne because this brunch drink just might move to the top of your list! Don't believe me? Make it and see for yourself.

Since it can't be fall year round, might as well drink this seasonal riff on the classic old fashioned. The sage syrup and apple brandy pair nicely together to capture autumn in a rocks glass.

Remember that pretty cool person you met that didn't like root beer floats? Yeah, me neither. Adding some quality bourbon into this classic dessert instantly turns this into a boozy treat anyone would enjoy.

So if you’re like me, you don’t just settle for two brunch cocktails. I can’t take credit for this particular drink, since it’s actually a recipe from one of my favorite bars in Chicago, but I kid you not it changed my life! And I’m pretty positive it will do the same for you, which is why I’m sharing it.
