The Little Fleet's Harvest Moon

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Nov. 16, 2024

With the winter solstice on the horizon, we’re packing in all the autumnal flavors we can, and we’ve got one more “must” for your checklist alongside pies and apple-picking: the Harvest Moon cocktail ($13) at The Little Fleet. Inspired by Michigan’s seasonal bounty, this cozy twist on a classic daiquiri combines a base of light rum, house-infused with cinnamon and Bartlett pears, with fresh-pressed lemon juice and a touch of caramelly maple syrup. Shaken and served in a Nick & Nora glass and finished with dehydrated citrus, this cornucopia of a cocktail is fall perfection in every sip. All that’s missing is the crackling bonfire (and maybe a little flannel!). Howl at the moon with one at The Little Fleet at 448 E. Front St. in Traverse City. thelittlefleet.com
