With Halloween behind us thoughts of family time, comfort food and dessert reign supreme. Flavors of fall soak into the mindset with their spicy richness, full abundance and feel good sumptuousness that completes the inner soul. Homes begin to spring to life with warmth from fireplaces and aromas of pumpkin pies, muffins and cookies baking in the oven. Families begin making plans for Thanksgiving gatherings in multiplicity so all ends of the spectrum are included in a holiday that seems to embody the spirit of inclusion, warmth and feel good comfort. Part of that coziness stems from family recipes handed down through generations and new recipes becoming part of family tradition. Cocktails and drink recipes have always been part of family gatherings and celebrations. This year begin adding a few new flavors of fall to your holiday cheer with a variety of seasonal cocktail recipes.

 

Fall and Thanksgiving traditionally bring to mind pumpkin, spice and cinnamon. These specific flavors can most often be found in pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins or pancakes smothered in butter and maple syrup. Why not make a twist on the traditional pumpkin pie favorite and turn the delicious pie into a tempting pumpkin dessert cocktail instead? It’s as easy as pie! The photo drink recipe slide show below contains 16 variations of pumpkin pie recipes for your holiday cocktail glass.
