Serving up Season 8 of Lush Life

School is back, and a new season of Lush Life commences! How exciting!

I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is the Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time.

Yes, next Tuesday, I bring you the first episode of Season 8 of Lush Life. This season, we’ll have even more great conversations, enjoy more great cocktails, and visit a few more great places to enjoy a sip or two.

We’ll be delving into prosecco, horse racing, and absinthe, plus meeting even more legends of the industry, and that’s just the beginning! Of course, I will also be bringing you the latest cocktails of the week!

Just a note if you are new to Lush Life - you can find out more information on everyone I’ve interviewed on my blog alushlifemanual.com! And you can also watch most of the interviews on my YouTube channel, which, not to confuse you, is youtube.com/lushlifemanual without the A!

I can’t leave you without a pre-season cocktail of the week.

Since this time of year is all about apples - this is one of my favorite autumn cocktails (and one I always start the season with!)

It’s the Avallen Autumn Old-Fashioned:

Ingredients

50ml / 1.5 oz Avallen Calvados
10ml / 1 tbsp Amontillado Sherry
5ml / 1 tsp Maple Syrup
1 Large Barspoon Fig Jam

Method

Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass: Stir to dissolve jam (10-15 seconds)
Then add ice, and stir, stir, stir.
Double strain into a rocks glass with ice filled to the top
Garnish with a slice of fig or apple or a fig and an apple

You’ll find this recipe, plus all the cocktails of the week, at ALushLifeManual.com, where you’ll also find almost all the ingredients in our shop.
