10 Elegant Autumn Cocktails

Published: · Modified: by

It may still feel like summer, but Autumn is right around the corner, so I’ve gathered 10 of my very favorite Autumn cocktail recipes, perfect for your Halloween, Thanksgiving, perfectly cozy, elegantly spooky, delightfully seasonal cocktail parties!

Autumn is my very favorite season! I love the smell, I love the color, I love finally being able to walk outside without slathering myself in SPF 100 (I’m virtually a vampire, it’s quite necessary in the summer months), and I love Autumn recipes!

I love everything about the Fall, and most of all, I love that people are starting to move inside and get cozy. My summer BBQs give way to candle-lit dinner parties and cocktail parties, and it gives me a chance to come up with new treats that are more elegant than the year before!

Give these gorgeous cocktails a shake at your next cozy cocktail party!
