Celebrate the First Day of Fall with the Best Fall Drinks
This year, the Fall Equinox lands on September 22nd, making it the first official day of fall. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite drinks to enjoy while you partake in your favorite fall activities – from hosting a bonfire to watching football games, carving pumpkins, or raking leaves, these drinks will add that extra dash of autumn to your day.
Spiked Apple Cider
This easy, classic fall drink is a great way to kick off the season and relax with a few friends.

Instructions:
Mix the rum, snaps, and cider in a Crock Pot or large pot on the stove for 3-4 hours. Add the apple chunks to a bowl and toss them with the lemon juice. Thread the sliced apples onto skewers. Pour the spiked cider into a mug. Garnish with the skewered apple slices.
