These 25 pumpkin cocktails are perfect for autumn and Thanksgiving. Enjoy the flavors of the season with these recipes! Great for parties, gatherings, or just sitting by the campfire.
There’s something that, if you know me, you know I love about fall – and it’s the pumpkin everything. Pumpkin spice is my favorite spice, and pumpkin bread is my favorite fall dessert of all time. Add the cream cheese frosting and I will love you forever.
My love of pumpkin doesn’t just end with baked goods. It extends into the beverage category, including pumpkin cocktails.
I mean just picture it: fall is in full swing and the leaves are changing colors. It’s time for big blankets, cozy sweaters, football games . . . imagine doing all that with a delicious cocktail in your hand. You can picture it, right?
Now some people might think pumpkin would be a little strange mixed with alcohol, but I promise it’s not weird – it’s actually quite delicious. This fall flavor goes well with a lot of different types of liquors: vodka, whiskey, etc.
The fall cocktail recipe that I’m most excited about on this list? The pumpkin White Russian. White Russians are my favorite drink of all time, so if you combine with pumpkin and hand it to me during my favorite season? Boom.
Here are my favorite pumpkin spice cocktail recipes to keep you warm! Grab your cocktail shaker, check out this list, and then let me know if I’ve missed anything in the comments.
