Foodie Friday: Celebrate Fall with Cocktails & Appetizers

( Via: Tiffany LaBelle )

We have really been enjoying sunset cocktails on the roof deck this last week. The sky has been beautiful and the temperatures just right for sweater weather. Someone really needs to plan a party. If you are so inclined, these amazing appetizers and chic cocktails are just party perfect. Cheers and enjoy!

Isn't this a beauty? It involves simple syrup, bourbon, lemon, and plenty of red wine. Yum.
