There’s just something about autumn that makes you want to throw on a chunky sweater and sit out by the fire pit with a seasonal cocktail in hand. Maybe it’s the cooler temps or maybe it’s our inner caveman drawn like a moth to the flames but sitting outside by a fire (without sweating) is kind of the perfect experience.
