Hello Reader!

Y’all should know by now that I’m a sucker for a unique seasonal cocktail.

These tasty fall-inspired sippers are perfect for a tailgate (or a homegate), a Halloween party (with kids and adults), Thanksgiving, holiday parties and more.

So let's give a big cheers to the fall by whipping up one of these fun drinks!


Autumnal cocktails:

  • ​Pumpkin Spice Mule: Singing with warming spices, this twist on a classic mule is spicy and crisp and calls for some of that pumpkin spice syrup that might be hanging out in your fridge.
  • ​Sparkling Bourbon Apple Cider Punch: It's a lot of words, but trust me when I say that this is the perfect large-batch cocktail to mix for a crowd this season
  • ​Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned: This one is a nod to a classic Old Fashioned, which, to me, feels like the perfect fall and winter cocktail. this one takes a little bit, as you need to infuse your bourbon with toasted pecans before mixing.
  • ​Spiked Caramel Apple Cider: Slightly sweet, crisp apple cider swirls with homemade salted caramel and bourbon to become a comforting, delicious and fall cocktail.
  • ​Apple Cider Margaritas: This is a fun twist on a classic margarita that involves some brandy and apple cider. (Shoutout to my friend, Melissa, who brought us this cocktail while I was out on maternity leave 8 years ago!)
