Looking for cute Autumn cocktails, you can ACTUALLY make at home? Fun and creative Autumn cocktail recipes for your next fall date night? Then you’re in the right place.
As a HUGE cocktail-lover (and one of my favourite affordable home date ideas actually being cocktail making) – I figured it would be pretty handy to do a round-up of my favourite fall cocktails to make.
So have a read, get inspired and do not leave this page without picking which one you’ll give a go next! 😉
Remember – there will be mocktail alternatives for most of these and you can make them as strong (or weak) as you like.
The most fun actually comes in making them. The taste is just then the final added bonus! So let’s get stuck in, shall we?
20 Best Autumn Cocktails To Make This Fall
In no particular order, when it comes to tasty cocktails for your next date night this Autumn, I highly recommend…
1) Autumn Aperol Spritz
Let’s start off with a classic Summer cocktail that you can adapt to keep going into Autumn-time. It’s fast, easy to make, yet seriously delicious.
2) Apple Cider Sangria
Similarly, if you’re a fan of the classic Summer sangria, then you’re in lucky – as this is another adaptation to make it perfectly fitting in Autumn.
Again, it requires minimal ingredients and is fast and easy to make. It’s the perfect Autumn party drink, if you’re having friends or family around.
3) Pumpkin Spice Martini
Looking for something a little fancier? A real show-stopper?! Then you can’t go wrong with the Pumpkin Spice Martini!
This is one of the best Autumn cocktails to make on an Autumn-themed date night, as it’s “difficult” enough to get stuck into, but not too tough to do.
Decorating this one is also heaps of fun. Don’t forget the biscuit crumb around the edge!
4) Mapletini
Alternatively, if you fancy a martini but aren’t a fan of pumpkin spice – a Mapletini can be a good shout.
Combining all of your favourite autumnal flavours shaken into one tasty tipple – it’s a sweet shout you really can’t go wrong with!
5) Apple Crumble Autumn Cocktail
One of my favourite Autumn cocktails now then, has to be this Apple Crumble Cocktail…
It’s your favourite dessert, all in one delicious cocktail (I mean, what’s not to love?!)
The only WARNING I have with this one – is it’s going to be a cocktail you’ll want to make again and again!
6) Brandy Apple Cider Slush
Sticking with fun and creative Autumn cocktails, another one to certainly try is the Brandy Apple Cider Slush.
Want to spice it up a little? Then try this alternative…
7) Apple Cider Pomegranate Spritz
With a variety of different flavours, you may find – it’s just the right mix!
8) Pumpkin Spice White Russian
If you’re looking for a strong Autumn cocktail with some tasty seasonal flavours, the Pumpkin Spice White Russian definitely fits the bill.
9) Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned
Likewise – if you love an Old Fashioned, all you have to do to make it seasonal this Autumn-time is add some pumpkin spice flavours into it like this…
10) Pumpkin Daiquiri
Another Autumn cocktail packed full of punch and flavour is the Pumpkin Daiquiri. (Who’d have thought you could make it right?!)
This pairs perfectly with a pumpkin carving date night.
11) Toffee Apple Gin Cocktail
Got a sweet tooth? Then this Toffee Apple Gin Cocktail is going to make you feel like you’re in HEAVEN! This is another one of my favourite Autumn cocktails and with good reason!
In fact, I kind of think this one is pretty much impossible NOT to love!
12) Apple Cider Margarita
Next up – it’s the Apple Cider Margarita. When made right and decorated to a t – this cocktail really does set to impress!
13) Rosey Cider Sour Fizz
Going back to the faster, easier cocktails – we cannot miss the Rosey Cider Sour Fizz.
It’s fun, flirty, and fast and easy to whip up on a rainy Autumn evening. Pair this with quality conversation and question games for a simple (yet seriously fun!) night in.
14) Boozy Pumpkin Iced Coffee
Looking for fun and different daytime cocktails for your next Autumn lunch date? Then this Boozy Pumpkin Iced Coffee could be the perfect pick!
15) Spiced Caramel Apple Cocktail
Another fast, easy and creamy Autumn cocktail recipe is this one.
Combining just 2-3 ingredients, it’s one that even the most AMATEUR cocktail makers can make this Autumn-time.
16) Maple Bourbon Espresso Martini
Then of course, there’s the Maple Bourbon Espresso Martini – another great Autumn cocktail for those also looking for their coffee fix!
17) Apple Cinnamon Mule
If you’re a fan of ginger beer then this Apple Cinnamon Mule cocktail is a must-try Autumn cocktail this season. It’s fast, simple, yet really quite delicious!
Or for more experimental flavours…
18) The Figroni Smash
And yes – it does taste as epic as its name!
This is inventive and autumnal twist on the Negroni – with a popping orange colour to match the beautiful fall leaves at this time of the year.
WARNING: It’ll soon be a firm favourite, and seriously “wow” your partner.
FUN IDEA: Each pick one of these Autumn cocktails at random and do a cocktail making competition as your next Autumn date night.
19) Autumn Hot Toddy
Next up – it’s the Autumn Hot Toddy, because, hey – we can’t NOT include a hot Autumn cocktail to warm you up as the nights start to draw in!
20) Vampire’s Sunrise
Last but not least – it’s the Vampire’s Sunrise and yes – strictly speaking – this is a Halloween cocktail more than an Autumn cocktail, but as Halloween falls in, well, FALL – we figured it would be okay to include at least one of these in!
Uh huh, if you’re looking for Halloween date ideas to do this Autumn, you can’t go wrong with throwing in a few Halloween cocktails, that’s for sure!
That’s All For This One
So there we have it – that rounds up my favourite Autumn cocktails I highly recommend you have a go at making on your next Autumn date night (or mates night!)
Have fun. I hope this has helped.
Love,
