Greetings Adventurers, Members of the Mysterious, and Seekers of Intrigue,
Ahh, the crisp autumn air, the falling of the leaves tells me that fall is in full swing. Autumn is my second favorite season. It conjures up feelings of warmth and comfort when I think of hot beverages, baked goods and cozy blankets. There's nothing like sipping cider on the front porch while solving a mystery.
As many of you know, our latest Murder Mystery case took us to The Fox on the Rocks Tavern. A place where beverages flowed all throughout the year. In honor of the season, we've collected a couple of fall drink recipes from Pinterest that would likely be served at The Fox on the Rocks to designated drivers.
These ones are non-alcoholic, but your welcome to get creative and make each concoction your own. Enjoy.

Curator Nettie has sent for me to meet her in the storage cellar. I believe it to be about another case. I'm afraid I must go. Enjoy the season. Until next time, I bid you farewell.
