5 Easy Drink Recipes to Get Into the Fall Spirit
With fall comes all our favorite flavors: pumpkin spice, apple and even cranberry! This year, we're taking the initiative to make the drinks of our dreams with these delicious flavors.
You might have a Halloween event coming up or want to get into the fall spirit at home—either way, here are five tasty, beginner-friendly drink recipes to love this autumn.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Everyone knows winter is the ultimate hot chocolate season, but that doesn't mean we can get a taste during the fall. This pumpkin spice hot chocolate is the best way to do it. For this recipe, all you have to do is whisk all the (non-chocolate) ingredients together in a pot and melt your chocolate into it. Voila!

Wizarding World of Harry Potter Butterbeer
Harry Potter is one of the best fall movies, and we can't imagine anything more fun than cuddling up with a cup of butterbeer and binge-watching all the films.
Making butterbeer is much easier than you'd probably expect. Basically, all you do is mix caramel and butter extract into cream soda and then top it with butterscotch cream, and you're good to go.

Dragon's Blood Punch
If you have a Halloween party in the future, you must try this recipe from Food Network. This one might be the easiest recipe because you just dump ingredients into a punch bowl or pot. But doesn't the combination of cranberry juice, ginger ale, apple juice and Hawaiian punch sound mouth-watering?
Apple Cider Mocktail
We love nothing more than heading to the pumpkin patch and drinking apple cider. But you can get an even better apple cider at home using this recipe from Rachel Cooks. Rather than only using the cider, this mocktail adds cinnamon and ginger to "add complexity." They even offer multiple snacks that pair well, from pumpkin donuts to spice pecans.

Candy Corn Punch
Not quite a fan of the tart Dragon's Blood Punch? This candy corn drink might be more your speed. It combines orange soda, mango juice, vanilla ice cream and candy corn—and, again, it's a punch, so all you have to do is dump the ingredients together.
