The ultimate guide to an original autumn aperitif, signed Cristal d’Arques, No foam, no gain


When the aperitif becomes a religion (and the glass, a sacred object)

“Autumn is the season of falling leaves, blankets, longer evenings… and especially impromptu aperitifs.
Except this year, we’re bringing out the big guns: crazy cocktails, a cozy atmosphere, guaranteed laughs… and the stars of the evening?
Our Cristal d’Arques “Rendez-vous brume vert & marron” glasses. Because an aperitif without style is like a mojito without mint: it doesn’t work.”


The art of hosting: Cristal d’Arques version

Cristal d’Arques Autumn Aperitif

Aperitif isn’t just about nibbling: it’s a philosophy

Here, we don’t just “have a drink,” we make memories. Whether with friends, family, or colleagues, each aperitif is an opportunity to slow down time and savor the moment.

The “Rendez-vous mist green and brown” glasses: the crush of the season

  • Autumnal colors

  • Mesmerizing design

  • Understated elegance

These glasses aren’t just pretty: they showcase your cocktails. And they’ll no longer be reserved for special occasions!

Why fall = the perfect excuse to invite friends over

Plush socks, chill playlists, candles, and clinking glasses. When it’s chilly outside, aperitifs become the ultimate refuge.


Atmosphere: Prepare your playing field

A table that looks great without breaking the bank

Forget Pinterest-level stress. A few candles, some decorative gourds, and Cristal d’Arques glasses in the center = jackpot guaranteed.

Soft lighting, calibrated playlist, blankets available

Your living room turns into a cozy haven. Jazz, throws, soft lights—your guests will never want to leave.

Color match like a pro

Moss green + chestnut brown = the ultimate “I’ve mastered autumn” combo.


Green cocktails: dare to be magical this Halloween

Green Cocktail

The “Green Glass with Worms” (Instagram-safe, promise)

Ingredients:

  • 4 cl white rum

  • 8 cl apple juice

  • 2 cl lime juice

  • A few gummy “worms”

Shake, pour, add a gummy on the rim. Fun guaranteed!

Mojito revisited: the “Autumn Mist”

Keep the basics, add cinnamon and maple syrup → forest & fireplace vibes.

“Witch Chic” Potion

Kiwi juice, tonic water, vodka splash, and a luminous ice cube. Bewitching effect guaranteed.

💡 Quick tip: for sparkling cocktails, use infused ingredients and zest. For bright green colors, a few drops of natural spirulina do the trick!


Brown & Hazy Drinks: Autumn in Your Glass

Brown Cocktail

Strong hot chocolate: the liquid hug

Dark chocolate + frothy milk + vanilla = maximum comfort. Served in brown mist glasses.

Irish Coffee revisited

Coffee, whiskey, cream + caramel + whipped cream. Cold weather’s best ally.

Cinnamon Spiced Cider

Warm cider, cinnamon, star anise = fragrant coziness.

“Enchanted Forest” Smoothie

Pear + chestnut + hazelnut + almond milk. Creamy and indulgent.


Offbeat aperitif ideas: breaking the mold!

  • Chips, rosé & zero judgment → Loaded crisps trend = life.

  • Autumnal platter → Cheeses, roasted chestnuts, spiced hummus.

  • Pumpkin & bacon mini-burgers → Cute, easy, original.

Games and laughter: aperitifs are not serious

  • Homemade Burger Quiz with buzzers or post-its.

  • Blanc Manger Coco + cocktails = friendship test.

  • Cocktail Challenges → Invent drinks with what’s left in the fridge.


Pro tips for a memorable aperitif

  • Prepare in advance (and pretend you improvised)

  • Avoid faux pas: undrinkable cocktails, sad playlists, soggy chips.

  • Enhance your Cristal d’Arques glasses: microfiber cloth + lighting = Instagram-ready.

✨ Autumn has never been so sexy: elegant glasses, bold cocktails, cozy vibes.
