I can assure you this apple pie will undoubtedly be the star of any Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving dinner. 

To do so, here is my take on the traditional sangria: the Apple Spice Sangria. This beverage incorporates traditional fall flavors—such as apple and autumnal spices—but its cool temperature and refreshing taste pair well with the warm weather.

Just like Damon, this cocktail is sweet, strong, and a little spooky. It’s the perfect drink for any Halloween party, pregame, or vampire-themed event. 

As a coffee fanatic, I’ve always loved espresso martinis. Not only do they help wake me up so I can stay out late, but the combination of bitter coffee and sweet Kahlúa creates the perfect sippable drink to enjoy at dinner, with dessert, or, you guessed it, getting ready for a night out. 

Taco Tuesday is arguably the best day of the week, and living with my best friends has only strengthened my case. There is no other way I’d rather spend my Tuesday nights than in my dorm kitchen making a taco bar to accompany a nightly debrief.
