\"Top<\/a><\/p>\n

From signature drinks<\/a> to cocktail hours, providing a variety of drinks for your guests to enjoy can be daunting. You want to make sure you have enough choices for everyone to enjoy but you also will need to keep your budget in mind. While you and your ‘maids may love a good glass of wine, your groom and his guys may want to go for beer, so finding a good mix between sweet and hearty drinks is what you should try to accomplish.<\/p>\n

In addition to finding the right flavor profile, thinking seasonally can also help you narrow down the list of possible libations. During summer months, you\u2019ll want to go for lighter, more refreshing drinks to keep guests cool. For fall weddings, delving into warmer flavors is the way to go. In keeping with the changing weather, we\u2019ve compiled a list of our top 10 fall drinks for your wedding reception! Cheers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cider<\/a>
\nHot cider can be the perfect addition to your drink selection especially later in the season with the weather turns colder. Garnish with apple slices or cinnamon sticks for even more festive flair!<\/p>\n

Mulled Wine<\/a> Versatile and very in tune with the season, mulled wine is a great choice because you can really make it your own depending on what ingredients and the type of wine you choose.<\/p>\n

Micro Brews
\nPerhaps one of the most traditionally seasonal drinks out there is beer. From pumpkin beer to IPAs, choosing a couple micro brewed beers for your cocktail hour is sure to be a crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n

Hot Toddies<\/a> Whether you make this delicious drink with whiskey, rum or brandy, Hot Toddies are great for adding a kick to your cocktail hour. Mix your liquor of choice with honey and cloves for the perfect blend of sweet and savory.<\/p>\n

Apple Pie Bourbon<\/a>
\nSimple ingredients like apple, nutmeg and cinnamon infused into bourbon creates a sweet and distinctly autumnal flavor that guests will love!<\/p>\n

Cranberry Margs<\/a> Margaritas are not just for summertime anymore! Garnish with cranberries and limes for a fresh take on a classic cocktail.<\/p>\n

Pear Mimosa<\/a> Like apples, pears are in season from late summer through the winter. Cutting sweetly spicy pear nectar with champagne will leave your guests talking!<\/p>\n

Apple Bellini<\/a> Like it\u2019s cousin the peach bellini, this appetizing autumnal drink is fruity and fresh and delicious in every way! Try using prosecco instead of champagne for an extra kick of flavor.<\/p>\n

Cranberry and Cinnamon Whiskey Sour<\/a> If the whiskey in this cocktail doesn\u2019t warm you up, then the combo of cranberries and cinnamon will!<\/p>\n

Ginger Spice<\/a> Light and simple, ginger spice cocktails are the perfect way to make guests feel welcome at your reception. Refreshing ginger ale mixed with rum and your choice of spices is a cool reminder of warmer weather.<\/p>\n

And there you have it! Mixology made simple for you and your guests.<\/p>\n
