Good morning Vermonters! Shelburne Orchard's seasonal Ginger Jack is back, and it could be the perfect seasonal accent to your wedding day. It's a non-alcoholic elixir, created by steeping large quantities of fresh-ground ginger and small amounts of echinacea root in fresh-squeezed cider. Just a splash of this potent potable can transform any drink into a festive fall delight. Try adding it to your favorite champagne for a signature drink, or use it in apple pies or meat glazes.

Who says you can't be a little silly on your wedding day? Silly Cow Farms Hot Chocolate provides some fun flair with their product, packaging the powder mix in old-fashioned glass milk jars. The cocoa flavors come in chocolate truffle, chocolate chocolate and marshmallow swirl, and they are all equally rich and delicious. A hot cup of cocoa would be a perfect way to warm chilly hands on a crisp fall afternoon, or a tasty treat for a morning soiree.

Spicing up a plain glass of water is just another way to add an unexpected splash of color and detail to your wedding decor. The possibilities for decorative ice cubes are endless. Flowers are a great way to make a boring drink beautiful, or you can subtly infuse flavor into water by putting berries, citrus fruit or mint in your ice cubes. Simply add your flavor or flower of choice to an empty ice cube tray, then slowly pour water into the tray, and freeze, as you would with regular ice cubes. Pop into still water, sparkling water, or another light-colored beverage, like a white wine sangria.
