"This time of year, it's hard not to succumb to the cozy flavors of fall. Pumpkin spice infuses everything from lattes to cereal, apples are everywhere and cinnamon and cardamom permeate both professional and home kitchens. Cocktails are no exception. Bar menus add cinnamon sticks and rosemary to the garnish rotation, and cider drinks become standard sipping. Why not do the same at home with fall twists on favorite classic cocktails?"
"The beauty about today's cocktail scene - both at home and in bars and restaurants - is that drinks can be just as delicious when made with nonalcoholic spirits. The prevalence of companies making solid NA alternatives to whiskey, gin, tequila and more, and stores that carry it, make it possible for these three recipes to be made as cocktails or mocktails. That way those who choose to not drink spirits can still get into the fall spirit."
"Brown Sugar Bourbon Mule Serves 4. Brown sugar complements the smooth, sweet undertones of bourbon whiskey. Lime juice and ginger beer add a refreshing one-two punch. From "Autumn Spirits: Cozy Fall Cocktails & Drink Recipes" by Adams Media (Simon & Schuster, 2025). ¼ c. light brown sugar ¼ c. water 4 oz. (½ c.) bourbon whiskey 4 tbsp. lime juice 2 (12-oz.) bottles ginger beer 4 lime wedges"
Fall flavors such as pumpkin spice, apple, cinnamon, cardamom and brown sugar are being added to drinks, from lattes to cocktails. Cocktails incorporate garnishes like cinnamon sticks and rosemary and use cider for seasonal variations. Steeping gin with white chocolate can add a twist to a negroni, and brown sugar brings caramel notes to a mule. Apple cider works as a margarita base. Nonalcoholic spirit alternatives allow the same recipes to be prepared as mocktails. The Brown Sugar Bourbon Mule serves four and pairs brown sugar simple syrup, bourbon, lime juice and ginger beer for a refreshing drink.
