alcoholic: homemade irish cream (i add a little cinnamon in the fall) either on its own or added to hot chocolate. and though i generallyhate pumpkin, i've discovered that i do like pumpkin beer. who knew?!
non-alcoholic: mulled cider or chai lattes
I don't think I switch my drinks around seasonally; I'll have to make a note of that.
Alcoholic:I like champagne all year (esp with some Chambord tossed in), and wine (red or white). And beer. (and yes, I am an adult child of an alcoholic.)
Non: I drink tea -- regular Lipton's -- ALL DAY LONG. Like, 6 travel cups' worth. It's my addiction -- I travel with bags to places (like my dumb sister's) where I fear it will not be in the cupboard. I drink it plain, and can drink it hot, warm, or cold. I try to pretend this satisfies my water requirement, but I know that's not true. And if the boob bopisy doctor tells me I have to give up caffeine, I shall curl up in a ball and cry.
"What is a week-end?"
Alcoholic: I don't change up drinks seasonally either, but when fall comes, I for sure get my fill of pumpkin beers. We have 3 varieties in the fridge right now, before that we had 5.
Non: I love cider, but it's like sh!t through a goose with me, so I can't really drink it
I don't have a specifically fall drink I guess.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Alcoholic: NZ sauvignon blanc
Non-alcoholic: Shirley Temple.
Baby248 - ETA 1/10/13
Alcoholic: I love a good fall beer...Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Ale is really good.
Non-Alcoholic: Hot cider
For fall -
Alcoholic: It used to be Oktoberfest beer, but since having kids (the morning sickness I think) it's really put me off beer and I almost always just drink wine now. I generally prefer reds when it is cooler outside.
Non-alcoholic: Toss up between cider and coffee with cinnamon in it.
alcoholic-I don't really have a specific one for fall...but I love a nice cabernet
non-alcoholic-mulled cider...yummm
Non alcoholic: Apple Cider or carmel apple cider
Alcoholic: Woodchuck fall blend - tastes exactly like hard apple cider! I also really like baleys and hot coco.
Non-Alcoholic - Hot Caramel Apple Cider
Alcoholic - Mulled Wine
Alcoholic- Hard cider- I like Woodchuck Pear a lot.
Non-Alcoholic- Mulled cider. Preferably in mass quantities warmed by my crock pot.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Non-alcoholic: hot apple cider, namely the recipe I make in the crockpot.
Alcoholic: no one drink in particular, but I do like a heavier red. I want to try this mulled wine some of you speak of!
Planning Bio
Alcoholic--hard cider (Woodchuck has a Fall one out that is really tasty)
Non--it's a toss up between apple cider or pumpkin coffee.
I'm going to have to "ditto" on the pear drink.
For non-alcoholic... maybe hot chocolate?
so easy! use the same mulling spices you would for cider but with red wine. i also love to do a blend of port (red, not tawny) and cider.

nice, very cold glass of beer. I love that I can buy Fat Tire here now. Plus, the Hoptober is delicious.
Thanks, this is a must-try now! Namely around Thanksgiving, since both my parents and in-laws will be visiting- it'll be crazy with 6 people in our 2 br condo!
