As the weather turns a little crisper, the leaves turn a little more colorful and flutter to the ground. Capturing the color of this yearly phenomenon, the Autumn Leaf is the type of drink to break out after classes are done on Friday afternoon as you plan your weekend activities.

Autumn Leaf

FYI: This drink contains alcohol, so you must be 21 or older to purchase and consume some of the ingredients.

Martini shaker

Highball glass

One carton of Tropicana Pure Premium Calcium + Vitamin D

One fifth of Smirnoff vodka

One fifth of Arrow Creme de Almond Noyaux

Ice

Directions:

Add five shots of orange juice, two shots of vodka, a few splashes of Creme de Almond and ice into the shaker. Shake ingredients and pour liquid into a highball glass.

Taste: This reddish-orange drink tastes like sweet citrus with a surprising smooth almond aftertaste.

How many 'til tipsy: Only about two. Drink slowly — this is a laid-back sipping drink, not intended for power hour.
