As the evenings get longer and cooler, these drinks are perfect for gatherings with friends or simply curling up with a blanket. Cocktail with a twist are not just beverages—they’re a celebration of the season in a glass.
1. Spiced Apple Cider Margarita
Margaritas aren’t just for summer! This fall version combines the tartness of apple cider with the warmth of cinnamon for a drink that feels like a hug. Start by rimming your glass with cinnamon sugar for a festive touch.
In a shaker, mix 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of orange liqueur, and 4 ounces of fresh apple cider. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime for brightness. Add ice and shake well. Pour it into your rimmed glass over fresh ice and garnish with a thin apple slice or a cinnamon stick. It’s a blend of fall comfort and margarita fun!
2. Maple Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail, but a dash of maple syrup takes it to another level. In a rocks glass, muddle a few dashes of bitters with a teaspoon of maple syrup until combined. Add a large ice cube and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Stir gently to chill and mix the flavors.
Garnish with an orange peel and a cherry for a touch of elegance. The maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the bold bourbon, making this drink perfect for a chilly evening.
3. Pear and Ginger Sparkler
For something light and bubbly, try a Pear and Ginger Sparkler. Start by muddling a slice of fresh pear with a teaspoon of grated ginger in a shaker. Add 2 ounces of pear juice, 1 ounce of vodka, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Shake it with ice and strain into a champagne flute. Top it with chilled sparkling wine or prosecco for a festive fizz. Garnish with a thin slice of pear or a twist of lemon. This cocktail is refreshing, with just enough spice from the ginger to feel cozy.
4. Pumpkin Spice White Russian
If you love pumpkin spice, this creamy cocktail is a must-try. In a rocks glass filled with ice, combine 1 ounce of vodka, 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, and 2 ounces of pumpkin spice creamer. Stir gently to mix the flavors.
For an extra touch, sprinkle a little nutmeg or cinnamon on top. This twist on the classic White Russian is dessert-like, with just the right balance of coffee and fall spices.

Nothing says fall quite like cranberries. For this bold cocktail, muddle a handful of fresh cranberries with a teaspoon of sugar in the bottom of a shaker. Add 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of orange juice, and a splash of cranberry juice.
