Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita
This is the perfect drink for fall in Texas. It’s made with smoky mezcal (or tequila if you prefer), orange liqueur, spiced apple cider, lime and maple. The garnishes add a layer of fun to this festive drink from Half-Baked Harvest. Try rosemary, star anise, apple slices, or even a smoking cinnamon stick for some extra flair.
Pumpkin Spice White Russian
This seasonal sensation from Sugar & Cloth is one for all you pumpkin spice lovers out there. Coffee liqueur, vodka, and homemade pumpkin spice syrup are topped with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice for a cozy soul-warming drink. The homemade pumpkin spice syrup is easy to make and oh-so-worth-it.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Martini
We’ve all had a chocolate martini, but how about a pumpkin cheesecake martini?! This dessert in a glass from Food Network Kitchen is a true after-dinner delight. With vanilla vodka, amaro, rum, pumpkin pie spice, pure pumpkin puree, and more, there’s a whole lot going on in this glass! This glass full of yum will be a hit at every Thanksgiving spread!
Pear and Ginger Punch
A little fruit, a little spice, and some mulled wine come together for a warm, tasty libation that will quickly make fall your favorite season. You’ll be making your own mulled wine for this drink with white wine, pear juice, ginger slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and lemon. The best part of this drink from Cocktail Society is the spicy aroma that will fill your house!
Eggnog Martini
Every holiday table has to have a little eggnog. Elevate this holiday staple by turning it into a martini. This festive cocktail from The Spruce Eats includes just three ingredients so it couldn’t be any easier to make. Vanilla vodka, amaretto liqueur, and eggnog are all you need to whip up this sophisticated drink.
Apple Cider Sangria (Thanksgiving Sangria)
Sweet, tart, spicy – this sangria from Our Salty Kitchen has it all. You’ll need white wine for this sangria and no need to break the bank. A lower-priced dry white wine will work just fine as all the other ingredients will change the flavor of the wine quite a bit! Make sure you let this sangria sit for 24 hours before serving, or at least overnight.
Cranberry Orange Vodka Cocktail
Cranberries and oranges are the fruit stars of the season and putting them together in one drink is a classic pairing for the holidays. This vibrant cocktail from Sip + Sanity comes with homemade orange cinnamon sugar to coat the rim. For an alcohol-free version, substitute the vodka and orange liqueur with orange juice, a sparkling orange beverage such as San Pellegrino Aranciata, or orange-flavored sparkling water.
