We’ve added “mixing fall cocktails” to our list of fall favorites.
According to well-curated Instagram feeds of yellow leaves, foamy drinks you know are pumpkin spiced lattes, and chunky sweaters, autumn is America’s favorite season. But in fact, a quick search on Google reveals the nation’s favorite season is scattered all over the map (a bit like I Love NY’s Fall Foliage Report and its peak season colors).
There’s no real consensus as to what the nation’s favorite season is. And that’s just as well, because it gives us something to look forward with each turn of the globe. StudyFinds has listed 30 things to look forward to in autumn: “Watching the leaves change color” has a full 51% of respondents saying that’s their favorite part of fall, “stepping on crunchy leaves” (so satisfying) at 28%, “Baking pies” at 31%, and “Seeing my breath when walking outside” at 27%. Just reading the list gives you cozy autumn vibes.
We’d argue it’s missing one thing: mixing fall cocktails for Halloween shindigs and Friendsgiving soirees. See below for three easy cocktail recipes that make up for this oversight.
