You may have noticed the days getting shorter. The air is getting crisper. But 5:00 still hits at the same time every day. Just because summer is getting further in the rearview mirror doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy some tasty cocktails at the end of a long day (or even in the middle of the day, if you’d like).
If you’re anything like us, you love summer, but you also love fall. So join us in happily welcoming the turning of the season to something a bit more comfortable and autumnal by mixing up some tasty cocktails.
We’ve rounded up the tastiest cocktails infused with all the flavors that scream “fall” – we’re looking at you, pumpkin spice – and are ready to have fun with them.
So grab a glass, all the ingredients, and get ready to cheers to fall.

Moscow mules are a favorite no matter what season we are in. They always seem to hit the spot whether it’s a hot summer day or a cool winter night. Why not take a favorite drink and add even more spice to it to make it your new favorite fall drink?

Who says white wine is just for the summer? We don’t. Give your favorite white wine some extra flavor by adding in the fall flavors of pomegranate, both in seed and juice form. This drink will refresh on those days where you need a little pick-me-up.

This drink is far from basic. It’s a fun twist on a classic, rich cocktail. We think everything tastes better with some pumpkin spice, in it, so we will let you be the judge as to whether that’s true in the case of this cocktail. (But we are pretty sure you’ll agree.)

A hot toddy is cold weather’s signature drink, but we have opted to make this one lean more towards fall than winter by using apple brandy. You may find yourself making this cocktail far into the holiday season.

If you’re a bloody mary type of person, then you are gonna want to try this twist on the classic. And if you’re not a bloody mary type of person, then you are also gonna want to try this twist on the classic. It’s different than other bloody marys and might just be the one to convert you.

Mezcal has been having a moment for a while now, and we are still obsessed with it. This twist on tequila has more fans than anyone ever expected, and many people are opting to create classic cocktails with mezcal instead. This Negroni is a perfect example, and a perfect drink to toast in the fall.

Margaritas are not just for the beach. They are a cocktail worth enjoying any time of the year, with some slight adjustments if you are looking to feel more festive. Make this favorite summer drink a fall favorite too but adding in some cranberry juice that will spice up the flavor and the color, too.

We don’t know about you, but no matter how much you love the fall at home, sometimes it’s nice to get away and head somewhere exotic, like Cuba. If you aren’t able to physically go to Cuba this fall, you can travel there in mind with the help of this autumnal cocktail.

Fall isn’t fall without putting pumpkin in as many different things as you can. We’ve decided this time to add it into one of our favorite cocktails, the old-fashioned. This modern twist on a classic doesn’t require any fancy ingredients or concoctions. It’s quick to make, and even quicker to drink.

A fall mai tai is not something you hear about every day. In fact, we are going to be honest and let you know that we had never heard of it until recently, but all it took was one try and we are hooked. By adding apple brandy and Cognac, this island favorite gets some fall flavor.
