Love Margarita and Tequila?
This cocktail drink is both a hit and a favorite among Fall cocktail recipes, perfect for Thanksgiving!
It’s composed of only five ingredients: lemon juice, simple syrup, egg whites, tequila, and cinnamon!
This cocktail is a winner.
Let’s take a sip of some classic Spanish Sangria that dates back to the 15th century!
Sounds like an adventure, both in time and in beverage history.
What makes this drink special is its interesting blend of ingredients: Rioja, a bold Spanish red wine, brandy, grapes, oranges, and lemons.
Can’t decide between a pumpkin-spiced latte or vodka?
The Pumpkin Spice White Russian is the best of both worlds, you can have the PSL taste and booze you’re looking for.
Plus, the Pumpkin Spice White Russian doesn’t require a blender to make, or a bartender to serve.
Plan ahead for Thanksgiving, and make this as one of your crowd’s cocktails.
Comfort drink for many, especially on those cold winter nights!

The mixture of crisp apple and fresh mint and a hint of cinnamon plus rye whiskey results in a taste like no other!
It will definitely warm your chilly fall nights!
A twist on a classic, the Apple Cider Moscow Mule is a mix of ginger beer, Fireball whisky, and rum with ice cubes.
No Fireball handy?
Create that cinnamon punch-up of flavor by adding cinnamon-infused simple syrup, or just a dash of cinnamon stirred in.
Traditionally served in a copper mug, you can use any glass you want, but the copper mug keeps the drink cool and the carbonation refreshing.

Basically an apple cider mimosa but with a twist!
Taste the classic flavors of fall- nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup.

Add champagne and garnish with apple or cinnamon.
This Honey Cider Cocktail is one of the best mixed drinks to sip at next Fall or Winter gathering.
Its flavor profile—a little sweet, a little tart—results in combining a delicious cinnamon-sugar rim, a fan of a few sliced apples, and a one-two punch of whiskey-honey-lemon.
Use a lemon wedge to moisten the rim before adding the cinnamon-sugar mix!
Perfect for apple aficionados, this Fall-inspired sip is filled with rum, brown sugar simple syrup, and a luscious cinnamon sugar rim.
Also, you’re going to love the garnishes (apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and star anise).
If you’re short on time, skip all of the garnish except for the delicious cinnamon-sugar rim.
This Pumpkin Spice Margarita is a tasty cocktail that’s as easy and delicious to create at home as it is at your favorite bar!
It’s great to make for special gatherings with friends and family, laden with a bit of spice and sweetness but not too overpowering.
We recommend making the pumpkin spice syrup in advance, so it has time for the flavors to meld.

This Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned recipe features a slice of apple to add that perfect pop of extra flavor.
Nothing beats this Pumpkin Spice Infused Vodka when it comes to simplicity.
