LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL
SLOW-COOKER CRANBERRY HOT TODDY
This creamy, cinnamon-y, nutmeg-kissed bev pairs well with dark rum, brandy and Cognac alike, but bourbon is our go-to choice.

CLASSIC EGGNOG
For the record, bourbon is a type of whiskey, which also makes it a delicious pairing for citrus.

LAURA WING AND JIM KAMOOSI
BLOOD ORANGE BOURBON SOUR
Using chai tea instead of black makes this drink super autumnal. Serve it with whiskey, spiced rum or even Baileys.

LIZ ANDREW/ERIN MCDOWELL
CHAI HOT TODDY
Instead of simply muddling an orange slice & cherry, this drink gets fresh clementine juice, orange bitters & spiced rosemary-honey syrup.

HALF BAKED HARVEST
SPICED HONEY BOURBON OLD FASHIONED
Rye is the star of this old-school cocktail, dashed with two types of bitters and sweet vermouth.

DUDE THAT COOKZ
CLASSIC MANHATTAN COCKTAIL
The drink is topped with ginger beer, so it's equal parts sweet, sour & spicy. Use fresh blueberries when they're in season & frozen when they aren't.

vintage kitty
blueberry whiskey buck
There's no shortage of fall spices in this fruity libation. We're talking whole cloves, cardamom pods, star anise and cinnamon sticks.

SPOON FORK BACON
honeycrisp and bourbon spiced cider
Pomegranate juice and fresh-squeezed OJ offer acidity while prosecco turns the cocktail bubbly.

HALF BAKED HARVEST
HOLIDAY CHEERMEISTER BOURBON PUNCH
