Kristina Magro, of Lone Wolf Tavern in Chicago, typically gravitates toward tequila, so when she set out to make a cocktail that evokes the switch from early to late fall—its brisk air and changing leaves—she paired an aged tequila with the spicy flavors of Becherovka and honey syrup spiked with cinnamon and nutmeg, along with L’Aperitivo Nonino.
