Whether you want to make spiked apple cider or a pumpkin bourbon drink this autumn, start here.
Every fall season, we throw together some apple cider, prosecco, and Fireball whiskey (adding in a cinnamon stick for good measure). This drink has become our autumn tradition, a drink we only ever drink while the leaves are turning and the air is crisp. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing I want to drink this time of year, so I went searching for some fall cocktail recipes to keep things interesting.
Food Fanatic’s archive quickly delivered.
From a bourbon drink with maple and pumpkin to a classic spiked cider, these fall cocktail recipes will make your adult Halloween party, random Libra season gathering, and election night all a little more enjoyable.
There is one newer recipe on this list, at the very bottom — my own Thanksgiving sangria recipe, another tradition of ours. Honestly, by Thanksgiving time I’ve succumbed to winter. Everything looks dead, it’s too cold to enjoy being outdoors, and most of you already have Christmas decorations up anyway. But it’s technically fall, so we’re including it.
Here are 15 of our most compelling fall cocktail recipe ideas — and don’t miss some of the other suggestions we rounded up, including fall food pairings and winter drink favorites if you’re thinking ahead.
