Whether it’s pumpkin spice or apple cider, the flavors of fall are some of the most iconic aspects of the season. And you don’t need to be drinking to fully enjoy them!

 

Looking to cut back on the hard stuff this fall? We’ve got you covered! Here’s a few of our favorite mocktails that you can enjoy all season long.

Apple Ginger Fizz

We like to imagine this mocktail being a favorite of Johnny Appleseed while he was trekking the country planting orchards. With classic fall flavors and a kick of ginger, this is a recipe you’ll keep coming back to well into winter.

 

  • In a glass, add ice, 4 ounces of apple cider, and a few dashes of cinnamon bitters. 
  • Top with ginger beer, and garnish with an apple slice.
  • Sit back and watch the leaves fall while you sip!

 

Spiced Lassi

Lassi is a North Indian, smoothie-like drink made with a base of yogurt that can be served sweet, fruity, or spiced. For those days where the weather is starting to turn cold, a nice savory drink can be the perfect complement to the falling leaves. Here’s a simple recipe:

 

  • In a blender, add a cup of yogurt and a half cup of water.
  • Add 2 thin ginger slices and a teaspoon of each: cumin, salt, coriander, mint. 
  • Add a handful of ice cubes.
  • Blend until smooth, serve, and enjoy!

 

Cranberry Spritz

Did you know, you can make just about anything a fun non-alcoholic spritz with a splash of sparkling grape juice? If you want a seasonal combination, here’s our recipe for a cranberry-forward beverage:

 

  • In a glass with ice, add 2 shots of cranberry juice.
  • Quarter an orange, and juice one quarter into the glass.
  • Top with sparkling white grape juice for a refreshing, bubbly drink!

 

Pumpkin Spice Mocktail

You know we couldn’t make a list of fall mocktails without including something pumpkin flavored. right? If that’s your jam, this is your drink. 

 

  • In a small bowl, combine a ¼ cup of pumpkin puree, and ½ teaspoon of pumpkin spice and vanilla. 
  • In a glass, combine the pumpkin mixture with 3 ounces of ginger ale.
  • Stir thoroughly until combined.
  • Add ice, and enjoy!

 

Dirty Chai Mocktail

Something about the spices of chai (whether you drink it hot or iced) just screams fall. We can’t get enough. This is the mocktail recipe we’ll be drinking all season long to make sure we get our fix. Just make sure you grab some chai syrup from the store. 

 

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine a shot of apple cider, espresso, and molasses
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of chai syrup and shake well to combine. 
  • Add an ounce of coconut milk and ice and shake until chilled. 
  • Strain into your glass, and garnish with cinnamon or nutmeg.
