Bottom's up with new fall cocktails at The Oakland

Now that fall is just around the corner, the fine folks at The Oakland Art Novelty Company thought it would be a good idea to spruce up their cocktail menu with four additions. Let's just be clear, you won't be seeing any pumpkin-spiced anything on the these new concoctions... And that's a good thing. Instead, what you'll encounter is lots of use of ginger (in beer, candy and syrup-form), spices like cinnamon and coriander and other ingredients that hearken the cooler months, when you'd you rather be sitting next to a bonfire and taking in the aroma of burnt leaves.

The Oakland's own Chas Williams shared with us some eye candy of the cocktails. They look almost good enough to drink.

Pictured above, Grandma’s Apple Rye, made with rye, apple brandy, house-made cinnamon syrup and house-made coffee pecan bitters.

Next up is Buddy Cop, with rum, house-made smoked pineapple syrup, Angostura bitters and house-made ginger beer with a house-candied ginger.

Third, is Closet Vampire, with gin, pan roasted coriander, lavender syrup, fresh lime juice and mint.

And finally is Donkey O’tay, with tequila, lime juice, house-made ginger syrup, house-made ginger beer and Fernet Branca.
