When you want something a little harder than PSL (pumpkin spice lattes), fall spirits, brews, cocktails and concoctions are your warm and toasty answer – especially if you can save money on them.
Or maybe you’re a purist and like to drink it straight, which in that case, bring on the spirits, wine, and brews!
Whatever your personal fall drink of choice may be, we want to make sure you’re also saving money, because, *ahem* that’s what we do.

Fall Cocktail Ideas
If you’re throwing a little get-together and need some fall drink ideas, here is an easy one to start with! You only need 2-3 ingredients and it takes less than 5 minutes to put together.
Pumpkin Apple Shandy (2 servings)
This drink is great for those that aren’t a fan of hard liquor because this mixes pumpkin beer and apple cider! Add some apple slices for garnish.
Ingredients
- 12 oz pumpkin beer
- 10 oz apple cider
- 2 oz bourbon (optional)
Instructions: Add beer, apple cider, and bourbon to a pitcher and stir! Then you can pour into 2 glasses and garnish with apple slices (if you want to make it pretty) and serve immediately.
