Rosy-cheeked Felicia,

If you’re like me, the first nip of fall signals a seasonal commencement in the kitchen: warming drinks mingled with the coziest of herbs. Early October is an ideal time to gather up the ingredients for one of my go-to libations: Spiced Hawthorn Pear Persimmon Brandy.

This recipe is a sensational cross between an autumnal elixir and your favorite hot toddy—it’s honey-sweetened, persimmon-infused, and seasonally spiced with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and vanilla. Prepared with fall fruits steeped in spirits, this sipping brandy is perfectly suited to snuggly nights by the fire.

You can enjoy this brandy imbibed on its own, or added to warmed apple cider and served with a cinnamon stick and thin slices of pear. I highly recommend accompanying the brandy with a nibbling plate of pomegranate seeds and cacao nibs.

Salud!

Juliet and the entire Chestnut Team
