Make mine a {Smokin' Oldy Old Fashioned}

If you've been reading The Uptown Acorn, you know my cocktail of choice is always a Ketel One martini with a couple olives, so when we visited the 1847 bar at the Grand Hotel recently this cocktail spoke to me, a Smokin' Oldy Old Fashioned. The craft cocktail was absolutely perfect in every way. J and I craved the cocktail the next night too. Cheers!

The Smokin' Oldy old fashioned is a perfect cocktail for the Fall season and beyond. The choices of old fashioned cocktails is also impressive. Just read the descriptions... mouth watering!

From the Grand Hotel website:

Every great hotel has a great bar to steal away to, and 1847 is ours.  1847 is home to the beverage arts, with Grand Garden-to-glass crafted cocktails, local libations and signature wines by the glass all getting in on the act. The setting of choice for savoring house-made elixirs, quiet conversation, or the easy company of new friends.

Smokin' Oldy, y'all!

Halloween {Pumpkins}

Every Fall Break, J and I  head to our favorite get-away at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, AL. On the ride home, we stop at Hazel's Market in nearby Daphne, AL for our annual pumpkins. Hazel's has every type and every kind, some I've never seen before. It is always a fun stop, and I look forward to it every single year.

Once home, I placed the new pumpkins in the front garden. Take a look....

Pumpkin Palooza, y'all!

Halloween {Nighttime}

I love the glow of Halloween lights at night. The spooktacular decor coupled with darkness makes for an eerily, creepy show.

Take a peek at the Halloween decor when the sun goes down:

Halloween at Night, y'all!
