The official Drink Of The Fall is...

Plus, a boozy cookie we can't get enough of.

View in Browser View in Browser Welcome back to Party Playbook! While the official start of fall isn’t for a couple of weeks, we’re already fully embracing the season with our Drink of the Fall and a low-lift menu made for hosting. One sip of this twist on an espresso martini, and you’ll be more than ready to kiss summer goodbye and welcome cozy season with open, sweater-covered arms. Dirty Chai Martini GET THE RECIPE Your chai latte just got a Saturday night makeover. Think of an espresso martini with a spiced, cozy twist, and you’ve got a cocktail our test kitchen was so obsessed with that we had no choice but to name it the official Drink Of The Fall. With vodka, Kahlúa, fresh espresso, and a generous pour of chai syrup, this is the kind of drink that makes people ask for the recipe before they've even finished the glass.   This week, we’re easing into the season ahead with a menu that promises rich, comforting flavors, while still saving fall powerhouses like pumpkin and apple for the official start of the season. If you’re hosting a dinner party or even a weekend date night, don’t skip the picks below (the roasted red onion chicken is a guaranteed winner among our editors).  Serving Ideas: Crispy Sweet Potato Bites GET THE APP Broccoli Caesar Salad GET THE SIDE Sheet-Pan Roasted Red Onion Chicken GET THE DINNER Espresso Martini Cookies GET THE DESSERT Unsubscribe | Manage Preferences | Privacy Notice | CA Notice at Collection Delish is a publication of Hearst Magazines. ©2026 Hearst Magazine Media, Inc.
