  "account": "Fall brings a variety of drink trends from bartenders. Savory cocktails with fresh produce like tomatoes, shisito peppers, and squash are becoming popular. Nonalcoholic and low-ABV drinks are also gaining popularity, often incorporating teas or being made less alcoholic. Darker spirits like whiskey and darker cocktails such as Manhattans and Boulevardiers are favored in fall. Tea-infused cocktails are gaining traction, especially with whiskey, cognac, mezcal, or rum infusions. Espresso martinis are being experimented with by adding different spirits like tequila or rum. Creams and toppers for coffee cocktails are also being explored. The Hugo Spritz, a popular summer drink, is being replaced by more flavorful cocktails like the French 75 or Death in the Afternoon. Pumpkin spice cocktails are becoming predictable, so bartenders are using seasonal ingredients like cranberry, rhubarb, sweet potato, and fruit cobblers instead. Mini martinis, or tiny tinis, are not gaining widespread popularity due to their small size and controlled portion.",
