Caramel Apple Martini

Autumn Thyme, we look forward to your arrival.  May we tempt you with a Caramel Apple Martini? 

Picture note1:  Did you notice the most beautiful piece of weathered wood in the picture above?  It’s just one of several that were hand delivered to me this week.  They were EXACTLY what I was looking for.  Hogs & Fishes to some very special folks.

Picture note2:  It’s September and we’re ready to welcome in fall.  It’s also still very much summer in Georgia (84 degrees at picture time).  So please envision these beautiful cocktails served on a cool evening, with apple slices still coated in the caramel and chopped peanuts (that now lay on my gorgeous piece of weathered wood).
