Sweater weather season is the perfect time of year to explore autumn flavor profiles! 

Can you feel that shift in the air? The warm days and cool nights are here! The dog days of summer, lobster bakes, and cookouts, are pretty much behind us and air conditioners are being pulled out of windows all around the state.

It is sweater weather season! It is that short, short season where you don’t quite need a coat but appreciate a cozy sweater and putting on a sweater feels comforting and novel.

Sweater weather season is the perfect time of year to explore fall flavor profiles like pumpkin, bourbon, apple, and seasonal spices. 

We have made the ultimate list of sweater weather cocktails for you! Pull out your coziest sweater and unwind with any of these delicious craft cocktails that you can make right at home!
