5 Fabulous Fall Cocktails

I love fall and all things fall. I also love a good cocktail. So, I jumped at the chance to write a blog with some amazing fall cocktails. For your enjoyment, my husband and I also rated them on a scale of 1-5 stars with 5 being the highest. I highly recommend drinking one of these while watching Hocus Pocus and putting up some decorations.

1. Fall in the East Side 

My rating: 3 stars

Husband’s rating: 3 stars

First up, a mixed drink using a cider from Austin East Ciders. Find the recipe here. Tip: they use their own house-made pumpkin butter, so I used a bit of Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer as a substitute.  

2. Mulled Wine 

My rating: 5 stars

Husband’s rating: 4 stars

A friend of mine told me Mulled wine was her favorite fall cocktail. After trying it for the first time, I can’t believe I never tried it before. I can safely say it is now one of my favorite drinks ever. I used this recipe.

3. Hot cider with rum 

My rating: 4 stars

Husband’s rating: 4 stars

I have no real recipe for this. It’s just something I put together back in college in Ohio. It’s super simple too. I simply heat a cup of cider in the microwave and add rum to taste. I usually also make this in a large batch on the stove for friends at Halloween. You can use either powdered cider, or a jug of cider.

4. Apple Cider mimosa 

My rating: 3 stars

Husband’s rating: 4 stars

Another easy no recipe drink. Just throw together some champagne and apple cider as you would a regular orange juice mimosa. This is a nice fall brunch drink.

5. Pumpkin Spice White Russian 

My rating: 5 stars

Husband’s rating: 5 stars

I love White Russians, and I love pumpkin spice. Throw them together and it’s basically my favorite drink on this list. The recipe calls for no milk, but I added some in because that’s how I like my White Russians. I also sprinkled some cinnamon on top (I might try nutmeg later).
