The autumnal flavors for drinks (think cinnamon-sugar margaritas and candy-corn martinis!) will make your next big screen viewing or friendly get-together a night to remember!
You’ll find one to suit your fancy and your palate from among from 32 choices — like a Pumpkin Pie Mimosa (might save this one for Thanksgiving!) from Cake ‘n’ Knife, to the Bourbon Maple Chai Punch made with hard cider, chai tea and plenty of apple slices. Take one of Oprah’s recommended warm ones in a thermos to your next hay ride!
Robust Seasonal Drinks
Esquire and Forbes (yes, they’re weighin in on fall cocktails!) have a totally different approach to adult beverages for fall. Esquire opts for stiff drinks that are too robust for hot summer nights, but perfect for enjoying when the temperatures drop. The 15 fall cocktails on their go-to list include the vintage Rob Roy (Scotch whisky, Italian vermouth and Angostura bitters); the Añejo New Fashioned (Casamigos añejo tequila, agave nectar, orange and Angostura bitters) and an Old Fashioned with mezcal, dark rum, Drambuie and Demerara syrup. And yes, we spelled all of those obscure liqueurs correctly.
Forbes says it’s time to trade the sangrias and the summer spritzers for a few cocktails borrowed from famous restaurants around the country. Like the Salt & Smoke, a concoction from ilili in New York City, which is a mezcal margarita with lemon, honey, pomegranate and sumac or The Nightcap, from the STK Steakhouse in Nashville, made with cognac, port wine, lemon and cinnamon apple syrup.
ALL the Flavors of Fall
Town and Country surprised us with 45 drinks that obviously required a lot of creative imagining – especially in the naming department! From The One With the Shrub (referring to the rosemary sprig garnish) to the Autumn Fizz, garnished with thyme and apple, you’ll find 45 autumnal recipes that pull together good ole’ classics and fancier fall blends and brews.
And finally, Delish brings us 34 fall cocktail recipes that it declares are all better than the reigning icon of fall drinks, the pumpkin spice latté. From the Apple Cider Mojitos (mint, cider and rum) and the Pecan Pie Martini to Pumpkin Spice White Russians and Caramel Apple Jell-O Shots, it’s easy to imagine settling in after dinner with one of these during Sunday Night Football!
Bottoms up!
