This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northeastern chapter.

Whether it’s Bachelorette night, a party or Friendsgiving, these fall cocktails will get everyone in the spirit(s). Enjoy and drink responsibly!

  1. Apple Cider Mimosa:

Go for a fall take on a classic cocktail, by combining champagne and apple  cider to taste. Feel free to add a cinnamon sugar rim as well. Replace the champagne with tonic water for a non-alcoholic alternative. https://www.thecookierookie.com/apple-cider-mimosas/

2. Pumpkin Pie Martini:                                                                                                                                                             If you are feeling brave, try out the Pumpkin Pie Martini complete with pumpkin spice vodka. Simply combine 2 oz Pumpkin Spice Vodka, 1 oz rum, 1/2 oz half and half, 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree and 3/4 Tsp vanilla extract. Dip the rim in maple syrup and roll in       crushed Graham Cracker.            https://www.thisvivaciouslife.com/non-alcoholic-vodka-and-dirty-martini-mocktail/
