There’s something magical about fall. The crisp air, falling leaves, and that cozy feeling that wraps around you like a blanket. And for me, the perfect complement to all of that is a drink that warms the soul, teases the taste buds, and captures the spirit of the season. This list is filled with my favorite fall sips, from spiced ciders and mulled wines to seasonal coffees and comforting teas. Whether you’re curling up with a book, hosting a Halloween get-together, or simply treating yourself to something cozy, these are the drinks I reach for every year. Why these drinks? Fall in a glass. Each item here captures the flavors of autumn like nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin, and cranberry. Something for every mood. Hot drinks for chilly nights, cold brews for the warmer days, and a few festive options for celebrations. Easy to find. Most of these can be picked up online or at your local grocery store. Personally loved. Every pick has a reason behind it. These are drinks that I truly enjoy, not just what’s trending. What you’ll find Here’s a sneak peek of some of my top favorites: Pumpkin Spice Hard Cider for that perfect fall fizz. La Colombe Pumpkin Spice Latte Cold Brew Coffee for when you still crave iced coffee. Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur for something cozy and a little indulgent. Witches Brew Wine for warming up in the crockpot during spooky season. Harney & Sons Pumpkin Spice Herbal Tea for caffeine-free comfort on cold nights.

Alpine Start Campfire Cocktail Mixers with pear, lemon, and cinnamon to take your happy hour to the next level. Tips & ideas Mix and match.

Adjust the flavor. Add more or less liqueur depending on your mood or the time of day. Keep it caffeine balanced. Have at least one caffeine-free option ready for cozy evenings. Gift-ready. These drinks make perfect party warmers or hostess gifts, especially when packaged beautifully. Raise your mug, light a candle, and take in all the cozy moments that come with the season. I hope this list helps you find your new favorite fall drink or brings back a few nostalgic ones you already love. 🍂 Cheers to fall and all the warm, cozy vibes! 🍂
I've been a cake decorator for 8 years. I started off in retail bakeries, and a couple of specialty bakeries. In 2021, I decided to branch out and begin my own cake business called Ashley's Cakeshop!

This list is where you will find those tools plus some honorable mentions!

Soooo learning how to bake is on your list of resolutions this year! When I first decided I wanted to give baking a try, I felt so unequipped—I didn't know why it was important to buy sticks of butter instead of butter in a tub, or what kind of tools to buy. Over time, and from teaching some beginners' classes, I've been able to come up with a list of staple items and ingredients every baker should have in their kitchen. Let's get started!
