Fall Cocktail Recipes

The Delores Royale, a clear wink at the seasonal change from summer to fall, adds weight to its smoky mezcal base by way of apricot liqueur and amontillado sherry—then is brightened by citrus (in the form of mandarin vodka and lime) and topped with sparkling wine, in a refreshing nod to late summer spritzes.
