Fall cocktails
Apple, maple, baking spice, whiskey, and brandy run this list, from Apple Manhattan and Cyder Press to Smoked Maple and a warming Pumpkin Sazerac.
Start here
Pick your fall cocktails by the lead ingredient on the table tonight. Apple-driven builds like Apple Manhattan, Applejack Rabbit (served long), Cyder Press, and Washington Apple Shot pull from the orchard. Pumpkin recipes such as Pumpkin Daiquiri and Pumpkin Sazerac take the squash route. Gingerbread Cocktail and Apple Buck carry baking spice for cooler nights and after-dinner sipping. Brandy and whiskey anchor heavier pours like Calvados Cocktail, Bentley Continental, Elysian, and New York, New York, all of which sit nicely with cheese plates and slow conversation. Smoked Maple and Border Hop add a quiet smoke note for guests who want depth without sweetness. The Fall Enzoni and Whist balance the bunch with bitter and dry profiles. Click any recipe for the full measures, glassware, and step-by-step build.
