Huge thank you to Yankee Candle for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Here in the Haaf house, we’re doing everything we can to coax away the summer heat and welcome fall. And what better way to ring in the year’s penultimate season than by filling our home with autumnal aromas and serving Apple Cider Moscow Mules?!
Fall is the season I look forward to all year long – and Yankee Candle has come through with the perfect seasonal scents: Farmstand Festival, Dried Lavender & Oak, Golden Chestnut, Ciderhouse, Persimmon & Brown Sugar, and Sweet Maple Chai. Their new fragrances are centered on the basic tenants of the pleasant pre-winter season – picked fruits, home-baked treats and general coziness… The beauty really is in the simplicity!
Apple cider is one of my favorite treats year-round, but especially when harvest season arrives, so it’s no surprise that I’m swooning over the Ciderhouse creation in Yankee Candle’s Farmers Market Collection. The Farmstand Festival is also a fave because it takes me back to the smell of one of my grandmother’s Yankee Candles burning in the house after a day playing in the leaves.
With fall fragrances filling our home, the natural reaction is to immediately whip up an apple pie and batch of Apple Cider Moscow Mules because the only thing better than apple cider is boozy apple cider. The apple cider mule is an amazing seasonal take on a vintage and versatile cocktail!
