Fall Harvest are bolstered with warm fall spices, brightened with lemon juice, and slightly sweetened with apple cider to create a bracing fall beverage that delivers on all fronts.
The original concept was a pumpkin bloody, which was inspired by classic Moroccan-style recipes that combine winter squash with tomatoes and warm spices. I think it makes some culinary sense, however most of the ‘gram folks who responded to the concept gawked over the idea. (Hey, you can’t win ’em all!)
I was still determined to create something of the essence, so I went in a slightly different direction with this Fall Harvest Bloody and I am not the least bit disappointed.
