Apples and pumpkins usually take the spotlight during Fall, but this cocktail from Inspired by Charm features a less popular, but equally delicious, fruit—the pear! The pear adds a subtle sweetness to the drink, while gin and cardamom provide an earthy aspect. Finish it all off with a sprig of bright, lemony thyme.

As you can probably tell by the name, this cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to Thanksgiving. The recipe from Creative Culinary is a little more involved, as it does call for making homemade cranberry sauce; however, the sauce only takes four ingredients, and the final result is well worth the extra effort!

Don't let the simplicity of this cocktail recipe fool you; it may only require three ingredients, but it is packed with flavor! Pecan Praline liqueur is what gives this drink from Basil & Bubbly its sweet pecan pie flavor, while the Bourbon and vodka cut through the sweetness. Warning: This drink may be sweet, but it's also strong!

This sangria recipe from Imma Eat That may not involve any wine, but that doesn't mean it's short on flavor—far from it. The recipe starts by baking oranges, grapefruit and cranberries in the oven, which adds sweetness and slight caramelization. Layers of Fall flavors are then added, using Chai tea, grapefruit sparkling water and garnishes of spices and more fruit. Delicious AND beautiful to look at!
