You expect fall cocktails to have apple and cinnamon components in them. But tequila? Devlin DeVore of Centro in Boulder, CO could imagine it, and did, when the Manzarita was created. Add in a little elderflower liqueur as a sweetener, and you have a little slice of fall in a glass, as #100DaysOfCocktails discovered.

Beer and whiskey are a pairing that are as good and peanut butter and jelly or eggs and bacon. The good folks over at 80Twenty have turned in a gem of a riff on the shandy, adding some bitters, orange juice, and maple syrup to create a cocktail you'll keep going back to sip.
