We love a good pumpkin spice latte as much as the next person, but there are also spicier, boozier ways to keep warm this fall. Whether you're hosting a Thanksgiving gathering or just looking for a new cocktail for a quiet Saturday night at home, one of these delightful fall drinks is sure to fit the bill.
This gorgeous fall cocktail is a seasonal version of a sidecar—a century-old drink made with brandy, orange liqueur and lemon juice—with a few tweaks. In our recipe, we use a pear liqueur in place of orange and omit the added sugar for a more tart flavour.
Although we used brandy for this fall-inspired cocktail, swapping in calvados would dial up the autumn vibes even further.
This warming cocktail is an unexpected twist on the classic French mulled wine, traditionally known as vin chaud. You can use any citrus gin you like and scale it up—punch-style—or down to suit a gathering of any size.
Swap the espresso martini for this decadent (but not-too-sweet) coffee cocktail. If you haven’t made a flip before, you might be surprised by the egg, which is used to emulsify the ingredients and create a rich texture.
This strong, subtly bitter and herbaceous cocktail calls for just four ingredients: rye whiskey (or bourbon), sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters.
Mulled wine gets an autumnal update with the addition of pears, clementines and cranberries. It’s the perfect batch cocktail for a chilly day.
This twist on the classic hot toddy calls for hot tea instead of hot water and ginger syrup in lieu of the usual cinnamon or cloves.
