Apple Drinks for the Fall

Fall time is just full of rich colors and flavors. The taste of apple is one of the fall flavors that you can find in all kinds of dishes from fruit salads to pies.

But what about fall drinks?

You’ve probably encountered apple cider at some point, but many people are unaware that there are a ton of drinks that contain apple that you can make yourself.

Want to learn about some drinks that use apples? In this post, I talk about some apple drinks you can make during fall.

Non-Alcoholic Apple Drinks

Apple Harvest Punch

This first drink is the easiest to make on this list. Apple harvest punch only needs four ingredients. You simply need a 32-ounce bottle of apple juice, a can of frozen berry juice, 1 cup of orange juice, and about a liter of sparkling soda water. The sparkling soda will give it that festive kick a good punch needs. You can always use diet or light versions of your juice selection to make this lighter and reduce the overall sugar content.

Apple Spice Smoothie

This drink is relatively healthy and can be made without a lot of prep. Apples are great for your digestive health, as well as fiber to help keep your intestines clean. Spinach has a few agents that promote anti-inflammatory action in the body as well. All you need to do is blend an apple, a cup of almond milk, about 14 spinach leaves, a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and a cup of ice.

Alcoholic Apple Drinks

Apple Pie Punch

Here’s another simple drink you can make that guest will enjoy, only this one is a little more appropriate for special occasions. Take an apple and slice it thinly. Then pour 4 cups of apple cider, 2 cups of pear nectar, and 3 cups of ginger ale into a large 0pitcher. Spike this punch vodka to your taste (or not). Either way, this party drink will get everyone out on the dance floor.

Apple Spiced Hot Cocktail

If you’re looking for a warm cocktail idea, this recipe might be for you! It will take some prep time on the stove. First, take 3 – 4 regular-sized apples, remove the seeds, cut the apples into pieces, and add them with 4 cups of water and 3 – 4 tablespoons of honey into a blender. Blend until the mixture is the consistency of applesauce. Strain out the fibrous parts and place the strained mixture into a saucepan to simmer. Pour the liquid equally into glasses, then add the remaining ingredients. Add the spices such as ¼ teaspoon of anise powder, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon of clove powder, and ½ teaspoon of cardamom. If you like, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to each glass.

Honey Apple Ryder

This drink might make you the most popular host of all time. To make it properly, you first have to infuse some gin with apples. First, you place a sliced apple in a mason jar and fill the jar with your gin of choice. Let it sit for 3 days. Once the gin has turned into a yellowish color, it should be ready. You then take the apple gin and mix it with equal parts vodka, and a half-ounce of Lillet Blanc. Shake with ice and garnish with a twist of lemon for a delicious and memorable drink!
