Before the frost shows up on your doorstep pumpkin, take advantage of cooler — but not yet cold — weather by easing into fall with a relaxed cocktail. Since vodka makes such a good mixer, make it work even harder by pairing it with end-of-the-season plums and the tawny sweetness of plum wine.

Shiso Sangria
1 serving
This cocktail, mixed up by Grey Goose mixologist Nick Mautone, is a little like mojito meets sangria — and takes advantage of all the latest cocktail trends — muddling and mixing things up a bit.
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
3/4 ounce simple syrup (see note)
1/4 plum, diced
4 to 6 shiso leaves (available at Asian markets, or substitute purple basil)
Ice
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce plum wine
In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime, simple syrup, plum and shiso leaves. Add the ice, vodka and plum wine. Shake well. Pour into a small rocks glass and garnish with a plum slice and shiso leaf, if desired.
Note: Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water and bringing them to a boil. Add a lemon slice, cool, then keep tightly covered in the fridge until needed. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge.
