VICIO MEZCAL
 

If you haven’t yet tasted the smooth and smoky mezcal from Dock Street Brewing’s sister brand, get to the cannery this fall. Try Vicio straight up, or in their seasonal cocktail made with fresh carrot and orange juice, orange bitters and habanero-spiced salt. Dock Street Cannery & Lounge, 705 S. 50th St., 215.726.2338, dockstreetbeer.com

PHILLY BAR
 

Good Good Chocolates’ decadent new bar is packed with pretzel peanut butter crunch and caramel beer ganache made with Lancaster Milk Stout. Pick up a bar (or five) at the PA General Store in Reading Terminal Market. goodgoodchocolates.com

CHAMPURRADO ATOLE
 

An atole is a pre-Hispanic Mexican drink of water thickened with corn (fresh, dried, or ground into masa). Champurrado—spiced with vanilla and cinnamon and made rich with chocolate—is an especially decadent atole, perfect alongside a tamale on a chilly morning. Tamalex Restaurant, 1163 S. 7th St., 215.465.1665

BLIND TIGER COFFEE
 

This fall, sip Blind Tiger Coffee’s Los Lesquines, a Honduran honey-processed coffee; beans are left to dry in the sun without being completely shed of their skin, which makes for a bold and slightly fruity cup. Pick up a bag at Riverwards Produce. blindtigercoffee.com

HERBAL ELIXIR
 

Herbalist Grace Galanti makes herbal vinegars, tisane, and elixirs from herbs grown on her own farm. The most popular of her potions, Resilience, made with tulsi and ashwagandha root, is said to promote peace of mind. furnacecreekfarm.com

WATER KEFIR
 

If kombucha’s vinegary punch is too much for you, try water kefir: a milder probiotic-rich, fizzy beverage. Inspired Brews’ adds blueberries and butterfly pea flower for a flavor with an ultraviolet hue. Inspired Brews Fermentary, 263 N. 3rd St., 215.821.9207, inspiredbrews.com
