Celebrate Oktoberfest with Weihenstephaner’s Festbier. Ditch dressing in lederhosen and dirndls and fill your stein with this seasonal lager from your outdoor bar. Brewed in Bavaria, Germany, you will enjoy this beer’s rich flavor and deep gold color.

A cinnamon toast cocktail will warm you up and is perfect for enjoying around your fire pit or outdoor fireplace. This delicious is a mixture of hot apple cider and your choice of spiced rum. Make sure to adorn the rim of your glass with sugar and cinnamon for a sweet tasting treat.
- Punkless Dunkel
A fall drink list isn’t legit if it doesn’t include a pumpkin beer. Some people may think this style of brew is gimmicky, but many beg to differ. We suggest local brewery Neshaminy Creek’s Punkless Dunkel. This wheat beer blends brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and pumpkin pie spices for a great-tasting seasonal standard.
- Bourbon & Maple Apple Cider
Sticking with the cider, you should try making Bourbon & Maple Apple Cider for your company. Just add bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup and apple cider together in a shaker. Once you have properly mixed the ingredients, serve over ice or hot and garnish your drinks with apples.
- Candy Corn Martini
Do you or your guests have a sweet tooth? There’s no better time to indulge in a candy corn martini than Halloween. This drink takes a bit longer to put together. You will have to put your choice of vodka and candy corn together in a container or bottle for at least three hours. Once they are infused, either stir or shake the vodka, orange liqueur and lemon juice or pineapple juice together. Make sure to decorate the rim with sugar and broken up candy corn for a great tasting and looking martini.

Margaritas are never out of season. A spiced pear margarita is perfect for fall. This mixture of pear syrup, black pepper, cardamom, anise seeds, tequila and lime juice is the perfect option if you are looking for a fruity kick.

Fall is the season for hard cider. Angry Orchard goes a step further and mixes in cinnamon to their popular beverage for their seasonal Cinnful Apple drink. This taste of fall is guaranteed to be a favorite.

The Autumn Russian is a fall spin on the classic White Russian beverage. Just use pumpkin spice Kahlua with vodka and heavy cream. Stir the ingredients over ice and decorate the rim with sprinkles.
