Pomegranate Punch (aka the Fall Fizz)1½ oz Vodka (I used North Shore, of course)
½ oz Brandy (used Paul Masson Grande Amber)
2½ oz Pomegranate Juice (POM)
½ oz Fresh Orange Juice (used Cara Cara oranges)
½ oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice (yellow grapefruit, not red)
½ oz Ginger Simple Syrup (1:1)
1 oz Club Soda
Combine first six ingredients over ice, stir well. Top with soda and garnish with fresh orange slice.
This one works great as a punch, you can simply change the oz to cups and have servings for 6 people. It's great for football tailgating, you can just mix in the soda right before serving, top the glasses at the event with it, or just leave it out entirely.
Fall of Brazil
My partner in crime, Jessi Brickner, developed this one - it's delicious
1½ oz Cachaça (Leblon)
½ oz Vanilla Liqueur (Navan)
1 Egg White
Sparkling Apple Cider
Lime Wedge
Rim a rocks glass with cinnamon sugar, fill with ice. Shake first three ingredients, plus lime wedge, with ice. Strain into ice-filled glass and top with cider.
When we served this one en masse to our class, I stirred the first three ingredients with a whisk first to emulsify the egg, then poured the mixture into a shaker. It worked really well. This was a great one for introducing people to egg whites in drinks.

Was hoping to make the second one today but don't have any Vanilla Liquer. Any substitutions?
I would suggest trying it with cognac or brandy in the place of the Navan, it's on a cognac base, so a mild brandy or cognac should be a great substitution. Let me know how it goes!
You're definitely right about using brandy or cognac for fall drinks. I just rotated out the "summer bottles" from my bar and replaced them with fall selections... it's almost exclusively whiskies and cognac / cognac based liqueurs now.
Stoked for the pomegranate punch... I was on a pomegranate and tequila kick to close the summer.
