Hmmm, the title says it all. 
I'm looking for an autumn-like cocktail (preferably w/ rum or vodka) for guests next weekend. I already am planing for the appletini, below, but I'd like to offer a choice. Suggestions???
Indian Summer Apple-tini
Recipe By: Cuisine At Home, Issue #65
Servings: 1
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
lemon wedge
1/3 cup frozen apple juice concentrate -- thawed
1 1/2 ounces dark rum -- or spiced rum or brandy
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 whole cloves
1 whole cinnamon stick
sparkling apple cider
whole cinnamon stick, to garnish
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a saucer and set aside. Rub the rim of a martini glass with the lemon wedge, then dip the rim in the sugar/ cinnamon mixture. Set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the juice concentrate, rum, lemon juice, cloves, and cinnamon stick, cover and shake until it is too cold to hold, about 2 minutes. Strain into the prepared glass.
Add a splash of sparkling apple cider, and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Food Exchanges: 1 1/2 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 1 Fat; 3 1/2 Other Carbohydrates
NOTES : To make the prep easier when making several drinks, I mix the juice, rum, lemon juice, and spices in a pitcher about 1 hour ahead of time and place it in the refrigerator. Then I pour 1/2 cup of this mixture into the shaker, add the ice, shake for about a minute, and strain into a glass. Repeat.
I also break a 3" cinnamon stick in about three pieces, then break up one piece and add to the shaker (or pitcher, for each drink) instead of adding a whole 3" cinnamon stick for each apple-tini.
Subbing sparkling water for the apple cider works well.
