1. Chai Old Fashioned

Starting off strong with an adult drink! The chai old fashioned has sweet, warming spices that give it a solid fall vibe even though it's served cold.

2. Sparkling Apple Cider Mocktail

Move over Martinelli's! These apple cider mocktails are my most popular virgin drinks for fall! Probably because they incorporate so many complementary flavors like apple, orange, pear, and cinnamon.

3. Honey Pumpkin Chai Latte

A pumpkin spice chai latte is one of my favorite things to make at home when I want to relive my days as a barista. It's quick and easy to make, but worth slowing down for!

4. Spiced Apple Gin and Tonic

Now, you might be thinking that Fall flavors don't go with gin, but you'd be wrong! This fall gin and tonic is just as refreshing as the original cocktail, but with a splash of apple cider and an infusion of cinnamon and clove.

5. Cozy Cinnamon Matcha

You know I had to come correct with the fall matcha drink recipes! My cinnamon matcha hits all the right notes on a crisp autumn morning and is a breeze to whip up.

6. Sweet Potato Latte

Coffee lovers rave about these homemade sweet potato lattes because they just taste good, and you can't find them at your local cafe. Enjoy yours hot or iced!

7. Fizzy Pomegranate Pitcher Mocktail

This sparkling pomegranate punch is one of my favorite fall drink ideas for a party because it's just as tasty as it is stunning--and it's already perfectly portioned for a crowd.

Plus, doesn't the presentation just scream "fall holiday drinks?"

8. Warm Bourbon Caramel Apple Cider

My bourbon caramel cider is such a fun fall cocktail recipe because it's equal parts strong, fruity, and festive. Best of all, you'll only need three ingredients to make it: apple cider, caramel candies, and bourbon whiskey. Add a dollop of whipped cream to take it over the top!

9. Orange Chai Hot Toddy

Making a hot toddy with chai is a simple switch from your basic tea bag, but it makes such a tasty difference! Add a lil honey, a squeeze of orange, and the liquor of your choice, and you'll be in business.

10. Mulled Pear Cider

I'll never stop singing the praises of pears, and this hot pear cider proves that there are great options out there other than apple cider.

11. Sweet Potato Old Fashioned

Looking for unique cocktails? Look no further than my super smooth sweet potato old fashioned. It's definitely more of a dessert cocktail than a traditional old fashioned, but nobody ever complains about that. 😂

12. Spooky Black Cherry Mocktail

spooky dark purple virgin drink for Halloween served with ice and a lychee blueberry garnish made to look like an eyeball.

October is not complete without something scary to sip on, and my Halloween mocktail is easy to make at home for kids or anybody in want of a zero alcohol treat...or is it a trick?

13. The Halloween-tini

black as night Halloween martini with cherry jam dripping from the rim and an "eyeball" garnish made out of fruit.

Not one, but two fall Halloween drinks, because I'm extra! The Halloween martini is black as night thanks to Empress Gin, tart cherry juice, and activated charcoal.

14. Pumpkin Patch Mocktail

two fall-themed pumpkin juice mocktails in globe shaped glasses, garnished with cinnamon sticks and fresh rosemary.

Don't these fall pumpkin mocktails look like cute little orange pumpkins?! Think of the cinnamon sticks as the stems and the rosemary sprigs as the pumpkin vines. 😊

15. Apple Cider Hot Toddy

Using apple cider in place of tea makes these apple cider hot toddies perfect for this time of year. They're crisp, lightly spiced, and boozy.

16. Smoky Cinnamon Old Fashioned

Meet your new Fall date night drink! The cinnamon Old Fashioned is grown and sexy, smooth and strong, and actually a lot of fun to make. Raise a glass of bourbon, cinnamon smoke, and bitters.

17. Creamy Chai Martini

If you like espresso martinis, add the chai martini to your menu of fall gin drink recipes! It's like a spiked chai latte--super smooth to drink.
