These Apple Cider Cocktails Are a Festive Way to Celebrate Fall

Come fall, it's officially holiday season—from Halloween to Thanksgiving, there are countless parties, potlucks, and intimate gatherings. But no matter how you celebrate with friends and family, there's one thing that every party must have: a fun and festive fall cocktail! That's why we've rounded up the best apple cider cocktail recipes to serve at your next get-together.

One of the best parts about apple cider is that it can be served hot or cold—and we've included cocktail recipes for both! A spiked cider made in the slow cooker will fill your home with the scent of warm spices, while a chilled caramel-apple slushie will have you feeling refreshed after a sunny day spent picking fruit at the orchard. In this gallery, you'll notice that apple cider can pair with just about any type of alcohol, including bourbon, tequila, vodka, and even wine and beer, so you're guaranteed to find a drink that fits your preferred spirit. Try the apple-cinnamon whiskey sour, mulled cider with bourbon, or apple cider sangria all of which are great for serving a crowd. Once you have your cider cocktails poured, make some fall appetizers and enjoy the sweet smell of cider in your kitchen.
