Everybody and their brother loves fall. I’m more of a “summer forever” and holiday season obsessed type so the fall really doesn’t do it for me. I know, it has to be the most unpopular opinion that a person can have. Whenever I tell someone this, I feel like I’m on a stage about to get tomatoes thrown at me. But with that said, the food and drink choices associated with the fall may be my favorite. I completely get the appeal and I love when it’s time to start making fall-inspired anything. If you’re on the hunt for something other than your store-bought apple cider with a little bit of rum or a local pumpkin-flavored craft beer, here are 5 easy yet unbelievably impressive fall cocktails to sip on while you cheers to...the best season ever. 

Cinnamon Cider Whiskey Sour

Do I even need to explain what’s in a Cinnamon Cider Whiskey Sour to convince anyone to try it? Ok well in case I do, this Cinnamon Cider Whiskey Sour recipe by How Sweet Eats is a combination of cider, whiskey, lemon juice, and maple syrup garnished with apple slices and cinnamon sticks. For anyone else in the “I don’t like the fall but don’t tell anyone” club, this one may help you enjoy it a little bit more. 

Devil’s Margarita

Red wine inside of a margarita? Alright, you’ve got my attention. This Devils’ Margarita recipe from Show Me The Yummy is a mix of tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and yes, red wine. Described as a little sweet, a little tart, and a little spooky this is the perfect drink for a Halloween-themed party. 

Baked Pear and Apple Sparkling Sangria

Ok so this isn’t exactly the easiest sangria recipe because there is a little bit of time needed (3 days) for completion but this Baked Pear and Apple Sparkling Sangria recipe from A Flavor Journal is the slam dunk, home run, winning touchdown type of drink that’s worth a little patience. Prep includes baking fruits with brown sugar and cinnamon sticks and then combining them with white wine, Cointreau, apricot brandy, and ginger beer. If you’ve been wanting to up your sangria game, here’s your sign to do it and the recipe to do it with.

Spiked Orange Hot Chocolate

I would guess there’s about a 98 percent chance if you offer someone a spiked orange hot chocolate, they’ll say yes. This Spiked Orange Hot Chocolate recipe from Vanilla and Bean is ultra-rich and slightly sweet with bold notes of dark chocolate, orange, and cinnamon mixed with Grand Marnier and homemade cashew milk. Having a fall-inspired get-together? This is the ultimate hot chocolate to serve. Desiring a fancy drink to sip on that’s entirely plant-based and creative? She’s the one. 

Pumpkin Pie on The Rocks

Crowd favorite coming at ya and a pretty healthy one at that. This Pumpkin Pie on the Rocks recipe by Vegan Yack Attack is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and will check off your list of including at least one pumpkin something at the table. Ready for it? Pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, unsweetened non-dairy milk, vodka, dark spiced rum, agave nectar, and graham cracker crumbs create this one-of-a-kind not too sweet, creamy, spiced, and a bit warming fall masterpiece.
