Forget the once-ubiquitous Cosmo and all those daiquiris. Skilled bartenders\u2014excuse me, mixologists\u2014across the country are now mixing and muddling premium liquor with fresh ingredients to create cocktails that are uniquely their own. In the process, they\u2019ve come up with some great new pours to pair with cheese. Especially right for fall, these four seasonal drinks are sure to create a buzz beside your cheese plate.<\/p>\n<h3>The Widow\u2019s Kiss<\/h3>\n<p><em>Bryan Dayton, the former bar manager at Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado, recommends serving this Halloween-inspired cocktail with a soft blue cheese, like Cambozola, which mellows the combination of Chartreuse and Benedictine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">serves 1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\u00bd ounces Calvados<\/li>\n<li>\u00be ounce yellow Chartreuse<\/li>\n<li>\u00be ounce Benedictine<\/li>\n<li>2 dashes orange bitters<\/li>\n<li>Cherry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Combine the Calvados, Chartreuse, Benedictine, and bitters in a mixing glass. Stir for 30 seconds. Serve up in a cocktail glass, garnished with a cherry.<\/p>\n<h3>The SweetWater<\/h3>\n<p><em>From the rooftop garden bar (now closed) at the Surrey hotel in New York City comes this hearty, cold-weather cocktail. Pair it with Caerphilly cheese from Tonjes Farm Dairy in Callicoon, New York, or a caramelly, aged Gouda.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">serves 1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Aromatic Bitters<\/li>\n<li>1 generous squeeze honey (local, unfiltered is preferable)<\/li>\n<li>2 ounces Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson Baby Bourbon<\/li>\n<li>2 ice cubes<\/li>\n<li>2 ounces Vermont Sweetwater Maple Seltzer (see note)<\/li>\n<li>1 apple slice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Add bitters and honey to a sturdy rocks glass, then add bourbon and stir with a bar spoon. Add ice cubes and seltzer. Stir again. Garnish with apple slice.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Note<\/span>:<\/strong> Vermont Sweetwater Maple Seltzer is a light, not-too-sweet beverage made of carbonated maple sap. Find it at vtsweetwater.com.<\/p>\n<h3>The Uppercut<\/h3>\n<p><em>Bobby Heugel, cofounder of the Anvil Bar &amp; Refuge in Houston, Texas, enjoys this fun and fizzy cocktail with blue cheese, such as Point Reyes Original Blue. Heugel likes the way the tangy, balanced blue stands up to the drink\u2019s fruity liqueur and the acidity of the sparkling wine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">serves 1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\u00bd ounces white rum<\/li>\n<li>\u00be ounce apricot liqueur<\/li>\n<li>\u00be ounce lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd ounce honey syrup (3 parts honey to 1 part water)<\/li>\n<li>Dash of peach bitters<\/li>\n<li>Sparkling wine, to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Combine the rum, apricot liqueur, lemon juice, honey syrup, and bitters in a cocktail shaker and shake till blended. Strain into a champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine.<\/p>\n<h3>Ruby Chai Appletini<\/h3>\n<p><em>H. Joseph Ehrmann, proprietor of Elixir in San Francisco, serves this cider-based drink with Irish cheddar. \u201cThere\u2019s something about the combination of cheddar and apple,\u201d he muses, \u201cand when you throw chai in there, it warms you right up.\u201d The texture of Gala apple when muddled into a sauce-like consistency, Ehrmann adds, \u201cgives this drink a velvety, viscous mouthfeel with a creamy head like a pint of Guinness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">serves 1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bc Gala apple, cored, plus a slice for garnish<\/li>\n<li>1\u00bd ounces Square One Organic Vodka infused with Numi Organic Ruby Chai Tea (see note)<\/li>\n<li>1&amp;frc12; ounces apple cider<\/li>\n<li>&amp;frc12; ounce organic agave nectar (or other natural sweetener)<\/li>\n<li>&amp;frc12; ounce fresh lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>Ice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a mixing glass, muddle the \u00bc apple to applesauce consistency. Add the vodka infusion, cider, agave nectar, lemon juice, and ice. Shake well for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Head should be frothy and creamy. Garnish with the apple slice.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Note<\/span>:<\/strong> Infuse 1 tea bag per 6 ounces of cold vodka for about an hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For your next cheese fling, raise the bar with lively
