16 Pumpkin Cocktails to Drink

Imagine taking all the delicious, creamy, sweet and rich flavors of your favorite pumpkin pie and mixing in some booze. Add maple syrup, cinnamon and graham crackers to the rim and this drink is like dessert in a glass.

The ideal drink to sip this fall is this pumpkin whiskey smash. This whisky cocktail, which is seasoned with pumpkin pie spice and mixed with homemade pumpkin simple syrup, is a comforting beverage as the weather cools off.

The martini is an absolute classic cocktail and it’s made even better with the flavor of pumpkin. The Creamy Pumpkin Spice Martini is a sweet treat of a cocktail that packs a little punch, too. All you need is pumpkin puree, simple syrup, vanilla vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream liquor, and pumpkin pie spice.

If you’re planning a party this autumn, you’ll want a drink to serve your guests that’s fun, tasty, and, most importantly, easy to make. That’s where this Pumpkin Pie Punch comes in. It’s sure to be a hit at any Fall celebration. Grab some apple cider, pumpkin puree, cream soda, pumpkin pie spice, and some vodka to whip this cocktail up in no time!

Who doesn’t love a good Moscow Mule? I certainly do, but when Fall comes around, I like to mix it up just a bit. The Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule is a great choice to help you get into the spirit, plus it tastes amazing. Like with any Mule, you’ll need vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer, but for this one, be sure to get pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice as well.

The White Pumpkin Cocktail is proof that white rum isn’t just for tropical drinks. This cocktail is sweet and comforting, perfect for a rainy autumn evening. It’s a simple recipe as well, so that makes it even better, in my opinion. All you need is white rum, almond milk, honey, and pumpkin spice. That’s it! Just mix it all up and garnish with a cute flower sprig.

Few things are better during the fall than a warm glass of apple cider. Make it an alcoholic apple cider and you’re really speaking my language. When I want some apple cider with a little extra kick, I go for this Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cider cocktail. The cinnamon simple syrup is easy to make and then you just combine it with the rest of the ingredients for an extremely refreshing pumpkin drink!

No cocktail list is complete without some form of a margarita, if you ask me. The Pumpkin Spice Margarita is perfect for all your fall cocktail needs whether you’re mixing it up for guests or just enjoying a drink for yourself. This stunning cocktail requires a few more ingredients than some of the simpler ones on my list, but it never disappoints. Trust me!

Another one of my favorite martini variants is the espresso martini, but when you add pumpkin it takes the cocktail to a whole new level. Vanilla vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, pumpkin spice syrup, and nutmeg are all you need to craft this concoction. This drink is perfect for a Fall Sunday morning brunch while you munch on some french toast.

This next pumpkin cocktail is simply magical and I really think you’re going to love this one, even if you aren’t a Harry Potter fanatic. “Grown Up” Potter Pumpkin Juice consists of apple cider, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice, and bourbon. What’s not to like? I recommend splurging on a high quality apple cider, if possible. It can have a massive impact on the taste of the drink.

I really love horchata, so I was elated to stumble across the Spiked Pumpkin Horchata cocktail. Make sure you have a blender for this one because the Spiked Pumpkin Horchata cocktail is a bit more work than some of the simpler drinks I’ve listed previously. Trust me, the extra steps are 100% worth it every time. The sweet cinnamon flavor of the horchata really works wonders with the pumpkin puree.
