Despite the snow starting to fly outside in Aspen, we are still firmly in the fall season.<\/p>\n

Not every leaf has dropped, offseason is still here and there are still two very fall-ish holidays to celebrate: Halloween and Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

So with this in mind, I am trying to enjoy fall to its fullest. This attempt includes involving plenty of fall flavors in both my food and drinks.<\/p>\n

From squash dishes to soups to seasonally appropriate drinks (ciders, pumpkin beers, etc.), I am eating and drinking up all things fall.<\/p>\n

Along with my colleagues, I often reserve sharing my latest drink favorites in town or new recipes I\u2019m trying for the Aspen Times Weekly Libations column.<\/p>\n

However, with fall feeling fleeting and no room in the Libations schedule, I wanted to make sure to share this drink with readers before it was too late.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a twist on a classic shared with me by friends at Reyka Vodka called a Celeritini.<\/p>\n

Admittedly the name isn\u2019t that appealing, but the folks over at Reyka have never poured me a drink I didn\u2019t like, so I decided to take the vodka plunge and go with it.<\/p>\n

Made with Reyka Vodka, lemon juice, maple syrup, apple-baked bitters (not to be confused with bitter apple spray that can sometimes come up as a top result on a Google search) and celery bitters, it\u2019s a fun but easy cocktail to shake up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great cocktail for the fall season, and it\u2019s super simple,\u201d said Reyka Vodka brand ambassador Trevor Schneider.<\/p>\n

While the addition of celery bitters and maple syrup might seem strange, the maple helps balance the savory taste the celery bitters bring to the drink (as a bonus, the bitters also go well in a bloody Mary).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination of these flavor is deceptively delicious!\u201d Schneider said.<\/p>\n

Serve up this martini, shaken not stirred, with a fall twist if you\u2019re feeling a little fancy at your next get-together, for Friends-giving\/Thanksgiving or whenever you need a sip of fall.<\/p>\n
