"It's time for fall drinks! Autumn brings with it cozy seasonal flavors, like apples, pears, pumpkin, cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. I've spent years creating cocktail recipes with my husband Alex, and I've put together my list of the the best fall cocktails for the season! I've learned it's not about tossing pumpkin spice into everything. The best fall drinks balance warmth and comfort with flavor and sophistication."
"One thing I've learned after years of entertaining: you don't want to be stuck playing bartender all night! If you shake up each cocktail to order, it does take quite a bit of time. Here's my strategy for prepping fall drinks ahead of time! Best Cocktails for Batching The Fall Pomegranate Punch is my favorite cocktail to batch and looks gorgeous in a large pitcher or punch bowl."
"You can also make the Fall Sangria up to 4 hours in advance and keep it chilled: the fruit gets even better as it soaks. For the Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail or Cranberry Bourbon Cocktail, you can make a pitcher version by mixing everything except ice in a pitcher and refrigerate up to 4 hours ahead. When guests arrive, add ice and stir."
Autumn cocktails highlight apples, pears, pumpkin, cranberries, and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Classics include Hot Toddy and Mulled Cider alongside creative twists such as Cranberry Bourbon. Batch-friendly options include Fall Pomegranate Punch, Fall Sangria, and pitcher versions of Apple Cider Bourbon or Cranberry Bourbon; mix bases ahead and add ice when serving. Warm cocktails like Spiked Apple Cider, Hot Buttered Rum, and Mulled Wine can be kept in a slow cooker on low for self-serve. Prepare nonalcoholic bases separately and set out liquor for guests to customize.
