Once the weather gets a chill, it’s time for fall drinks! Here are the best of the season, from fall sangria to spiked apple cider (includes non-alcoholic).

Fall sangria recipe

Once the weather gets a little chill, it’s time for fall drinks! You know, the drinks that warm you from the inside out? And we’re not just talking cocktails here. We’ve got a lineup of all the cozy-spiced drinks, from apple cider sangria to gingerbread hot chocolate, from spiked cider to pomegranate mocktails. These drinks are so beautiful they easily work for entertaining, but of course you can drink them anytime!

Most of these drinks require very little special equipment. You won’t need any cocktail shakers or muddlers or jiggers or even special glasses. Most of them are simply made by heating things up in a pan: like our mulled wine or spiked apple cider. Well, let’s just get to them already!
